A miraculous transformation takes place inside the microscopic factories in
plants. Plants perform photosynthesis with the energy from the Sun, and
thus meet the energy needs of human beings and animals.
Photosynthesis and energy
Your car engine runs on what was once solar energy. Jet planes fly
thanks to what was once solar energy. You are using what was once solar
energy even as you read these lines.
The first thing that comes into your mind as you read this will be that
your car actually runs on gasoline and that jetliners use aviation fuel. You
will imagine that you acquired the energy to read these lines from the last
meal you ate, not from solar energy. The fact is, however, that both gas
and the meals you eat, and even the wood and coal we burn for warmth,
all contain energy obtained from the Sun—via photosynthesis. How?
