Most plants require light to live. There are a few types of plants that can live without light, but most plants will die if they do not receive adequate light. Light is a form of energy that these plants take in and use to carry out photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that produces glucose, a compound the plant uses as food. In this way, plants use light from the Sun to make their own food. Radiant energy from the Sun is changed to chemical energy in glucose molecules. The following reaction summarizes this process:

Plants differ from animals in being able to use radiant energy in this way. Animals cannot use radiant energy from the Sun to make glucose. They must obtain energy from the environment in the form of food, which contains chemical energy. Animals have to eat in order to survive.

This is foundational to the understanding of the process of photosynthesis, during which radiant energy from the Sun is transformed into chemical energy.]]> 2016-06-27 00:14:53 UTC https://padlet.com/onalahmet86/4jbr0puck853/wish/115468106
