Plants take sunlight, water from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the air. Then inside their leaves, they use a green pigment called chlorophyll to capture that sunlight. Think of chlorophyll like a tiny solar panel. Using that energy, the plant combines water and carbon dioxide to make glucose, which is bas
