(a) Green plants are called __________ since they synthesise
their own food.
(b) The food synthesised by the plants is stored as __________.
(c) In photosynthesis solar energy is captured by the pigment called

Fill in the blanks:
(a) Green plants are called __________ since they synthesise their own food.
(b) The food synthesised by the plants is stored as __________.
(c) In photosynthesis solar energy is captured by the pigment called ___________.
(d) During photosynthesis plants take in ___________and release ___________.
(a)Green plants are called __autotrophs__ since they synthesize their own food.
Green plants are called autotrophs since they are able to synthesize their own food. In photosynthesis, solar energy is captured by the pigment, Chlorophyll. During photosynthesis, plants consume carbon dioxide and release oxygen gas.
(b)The food synthesized by the plants is stored as __starch__.
Food making process in plants is called as photosynthesis and synthesized food is stored as carbohydrates (glucose as well as starch).
(c)In photosynthesis solar energy is captured by the pigment calledchlorophyll__.
Most plants contain a special colored chemical or pigment called chlorophyll that is used in photosynthesis. Chlorophyll is what absorbs the sun's energy and turns it into chemical energy. Not all the light energy from the sun is absorbed.
(d)During photosynthesis plants take in __carbon dioxide__and release __oxygen__.
During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen. Plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil during photosynthesis. The plant then releases the oxygen into the atmosphere while storing energy in the glucose molecules.
