Nope. Plants use the sun and carbon dioxide to generate their food.

Ever heard of nitrates, phosphates, and trace minerals in soils? Ever heard of mycorrhizae? How about WATER?

Sheesh.

Sheesh.”

I have heard of allof that. Have you ever heard of plant respiration and photosynthesis?

Me: Nope. Plants use the sun and carbon dioxide to generate their food.

You: Sheesh

-————————The Facts-————————

Plants make their own food through photosynthesis, using sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and chlorophyll.

Yes. They eat food produced by plants.

Plants live by respiration, taking in oxygen and releasing carbon dioxide. Just like you.


Plants live by respiring 24/7, using oxygen to break down glucose (produced during photosynthesis) into energy for growth and survival, releasing carbon dioxide and water as byproducts
