Question

What happens to the food prepared by green plants?

Answer 1

Light (either natural sunlight or artificial light, like from a light bulb)
chlorophyll, a green pigment found in the leaves of plantscarbon dioxide (CO2)(a gas found in the air; one of the gases people and animals breathe out when they exhale)water (which the plant collects through its roots)nutrients and minerals (which the plant collects from the soil through its roots)

Plants make food in their leaves.  The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colors the leaves green.  Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight.  This process is called photosynthesis.
