Question

Plants manufacture their food by using ...................... energy.

Answer 1

Plants prepare their own food by using solar energy. The pigment chlorophyll which gives a green colour to the plants, absorbs sunlight. The solar energy is converted into chemical energy and stored in the form of food. This process is known as photosynthesis and occurs in leaves. Raw materials used in the process of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water which are converted into glucose along with the release of oxygen.

So, the correct answer is 'solar'.
