Explanation:

Plants can produce their own energy source (glucose) by converting sunlight to a chemical form of energy through photosynthesis. This reaction requires carbon dioxide - #"water + carbon dioxide ---> glucose + oxygen"# - as it provides the carbon necessary for a hydrocarbon like glucose.
