The process by which plants manufacture food from carbondioxide and water, using energy from the sun is termed

The correct answer is photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of organic compounds, mainly carbohydrates. This process occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells and involves the use of pigments such as chlorophyll to absorb light energy, which is then used to power the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide is taken in through small openings in the leaves called stomata, while water is absorbed through the roots and transported to the leaves via the xylem. During the process, light energy is captured by chlorophyll and other pigments, and used to power the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. The oxygen produced is then released into the atmosphere as a byproduct, while the glucose is used as an energy source for the plant.
