Question

Plants use carbohydrates to build things such as cellulose. How do plants acquire these building blocks to build mass?

Answer 1

Plants make carbohydrates through the process of photosynthesis. When the leaves of the plants absorb the sunlight, they use this energy to combine water with carbon dioxide. The by-products of mixing carbon dioxide and water are glucose and cellulose.

Photosynthesis is a unique trait that separate plants from other living organisms. They can provide the necessary nutrients to help sustain themselves and survive for longer periods of time. When carbohydrates are in excess, plants have the ability to store and use them when one of the ingredients of photosynthesis is not available. 

Answer 2

C) They make carbohydrates through the process of photosynthesis.
