The correct answer is that the cell obtains the needed energy from sunlight. In photosynthesis, plant cells use the energy from sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. This process takes place in the chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs sunlight. The energy from sunlight is used to power the chemical reactions that transform the raw materials into glucose, the main source of energy for the plant.
