Plants prepare glucose in the process of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize foods with the help of chlorophyll pigment. During photosynthesis, plants convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose (a sugar). This process uses carbon dioxide and water as raw materials and releases oxygen as a byproduct.
Respiration is the process where organisms break down glucose to release energy. Degradation refers to the breaking down of complex substances. Mineral absorption is the uptake of mineral nutrients from the soil.
