Here's how it works:
* Photosynthesis: Plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose (a sugar) and oxygen.
* Energy Storage: Glucose is a complex molecule that contains chemical bonds holding a lot of energy. Plants use this energy for growth, reproduction, and other vital functions.
* Other Forms of Storage: Plants can also convert glucose into other energy storage molecules, like starch.
