SNACKING ON SUNLIGHT AGE COST

Do plants eat? Yes, but not like we do. Instead of going to the kitchen, the local store, or restau-rant for a meal, plants make their own food in the form of sugars. Just like eating sugar gives humans energy to work and play, sugar allows plants to grow and do other important work. Plants get food and energy through a process called photosynthesis.
