There are certain cells in the leaves which change carbon dioxide and water into sugar. To do this the cells needs energy, which they get from the sunlight. Green leaves make food for the whole plant. A red leaf can make food too because under the red color1ing of the leaf there are food----making cells. There are no leaves which are completely yellow, for they can't make food. The plant makes sugar for its food. In sunlight green leaves make a lot of sugar.

In some plants, food is stored in the roots, in others it is stored in the stem and in leaves, fruits and seeds. Question: To make food, plants need a lot except _ . Options: A: the air B: the soil C: the green leaves D: dead leaves
