Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that plants are autotrophs, meaning they produce their own food through the process of photosynthesis.
Recognize that photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose.
Identify the key components required for photosynthesis: sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water.
Realize that sunlight is the ultimate source of energy for plants, as it provides the energy needed to drive the photosynthesis process.
Note that while carbon dioxide, soil nutrients, and water are essential for plant growth, they do not provide the energy needed for photosynthesis; sunlight is the primary energy source.
