Answer 1

1. plants are considered to be autotrophs because of their ability to produce their own food.

2. plants use the process of photosynthesis to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose sugar and oxygen.

3. this process occurs within the chloroplast of cells present in the mesophyll tissue of the plant.

4. During photosynthesis, the chloroplasts capture incoming energy from sunlight and convert it into energy carriers.

5. The light-independent reactions use the energy from the previous set of reactions to fix carbon dioxide molecules into glucose.

( The process of photosynthesis occurs in autographs, green plants that have chlorophyll in their chloroplast present in the mesophyll cells. This chlorophyll can absorb sunlight and split it and along with water and carbon dioxide ultimately forms glucose and water. There are light dependent and light independent reactions. The light dependent reactions split up water by energy from the sun and produce energy, which is subsequently used by light independent reactions to fix carbon dioxide to glucose)
