Photosynthesis is the process plants use to convert energy from the sun into usable energy for their cells. Plants use the light energy of the sun, carbon dioxide, and water to make glucose (a sugar), and oxygen. The energy of the sun is captured and stored in the bonds between atoms in glucose molecules.
The sporophore is the umbrella-shaped body of the mushroom. It
is also called the "fruit" of the fungi. It starts out as a small
button and grows into stalk and cap. The cap becomes larger and unfolds like an
umbrella.
