Question

question 23 examine the plant cell diagram, which shows glucose being made from carbon dioxide and water. how does the cell obtain energy for the process? a the cell makes the needed energy from soil nutrients. b the cell makes the needed energy in mitochondria. c the cell obtains the needed energy from food. d the cell obtains the needed energy from sunlight.

Explanation:

The process shown is photosynthesis in plant cells. Chloroplasts use sunlight to convert carbon - dioxide and water into glucose. Sunlight provides the energy for this process. Soil nutrients do not directly provide energy for photosynthesis. Mitochondria are involved in cellular respiration, not photosynthesis. Plants make their own food (glucose) through photosynthesis and don't obtain energy from pre - made food in this context.

Answer:

D. The cell obtains the needed energy from sunlight.
