Question

our Paheli wants to know why body cannot make food from carbon dioxide, water and minerals like plants do.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plants make food with the help of chlorophyll, as this is the only component that can absorb solar radiation. And without solar energy, photosynthesis as a process is not possible. Since, human body does not have this pigment called chlorophyll hence food cannot be made by humans as by plants.
