Question: Plants use energy directly from the sun. What do they use the energy from the sun for?
Answer: to make food
Hypothesis: plants use energy from the sun to make food
Supporting facts: sent1: a producer is a source of energy for consumers sent2: photosynthesis is a kind of chemical process sent3: plant cells can perform photosynthesis sent4: if a process converts something into something else then that something is used for that process sent5: producers are a source of food resource for primary consumers sent6: green plants provide food for themselves / animals / consumers by performing photosynthesis sent7: plants use energy directly from the sun sent8: nutrients are a source of energy for living things sent9: making something is a kind of method for providing that something sent10: usually plants store the food they produce for future use sent11: a leaf absorbs sunlight to perform photosynthesis sent12: photosynthesizing means performing photosynthesis sent13: food contains carbohydrates sent14: something is used for that something 's purpose sent15: if something comes from something else then that something else is a source of that something sent16: to create means to make sent17: a producer produces its own food sent18: a plant requires photosynthesis to grow / survive sent19: photosynthesis means producers / green plants convert from carbon dioxide and water and solar energy into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves sent20: in the photosynthesis process carbon dioxide / water / sunlight has the role of raw material sent21: production is similar to making sent22: the sun is the source of solar energy called sunlight sent23: plants perform photosynthesis sent24: producers pass materials they use through the food chain sent25: solar energy is a kind of energy
Reasoning: [BECAUSE] the sun is the source of solar energy called sunlight [AND] plants use energy directly from the sun [INFER] int1: plants use solar energy [BECAUSE] photosynthesis is a kind of chemical process [AND] if a process converts something into something else then that something is used for that process [INFER] int2: if photosynthesis converts something into something else then that something is used for that process [BECAUSE] int2 [AND] photosynthesis means producers / green plants convert from carbon dioxide and water and solar energy into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves [INFER] int3: solar energy is used for photosynthesis [BECAUSE] int1 [AND] int3 [AND] plants perform photosynthesis [INFER] int4: plants use solar energy to perform photosynthesis [BECAUSE] int4 [AND] green plants provide food for themselves / animals / consumers by performing photosynthesis [INFER] int5: plants use solar energy to provide food for themselves [BECAUSE] int5 [AND] making something is a kind of method for providing that something [INFER] int6: plants use solar energy to make food [BECAUSE] if something comes from something else then that something else is a source of that something [AND] the sun is the source of solar energy called sunlight [INFER] int7: solar energy comes from the sun [BECAUSE] int7 [AND] solar energy is a kind of energy [INFER] int8: solar energy is a kind of energy that comes from the sun [BECAUSE] int6 [AND] int8 [INFER] int9: plants use energy from the sun to make food
