- Green plants carry out autotrophic nutrition, which is the mode of nutrition where organisms can produce their own organic food from inorganic substances like carbon dioxide and water through photosynthesis.
- Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant leaves and requires carbon dioxide, water, sunlight, and chlorophyll. It produces carbohydrates and oxygen from these simple inorganic substances.
- The products of photosynthesis are used by the plant for energy, growth, cell synthesis, and are transported throughout the plant to support its metabolic needs.
