Write a scientific explanation describing whether energy is required for photosynthesis to occur. IN CER PLZ

Plants are called autotrophs because they can use energy from light to synthesize, or make, their own food source. Many people believe they are “feeding” a plant when they put it in soil, water it, or place it outside in the Sun, but none of these things are considered food. Rather, plants use sunlight, water, and the gases in the air to make glucose, which is a form of sugar that plants need to survive. This process is called photosynthesis and is performed by all plants, algae, and even some microorganisms. To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.

energy is of course required for photosynthesis to occur as photosynthesis is self is the process of plants of green plants to make food or to provide food for themselves in the presence of sunlight carbon dioxide and using water from the soil in the definition you can also say that sunlight is needed for photosynthesis to take place and some light is a form of energy which is solar energy so energy is required for photosynthesis to occur

im doing test rn im going with 2 but ill give answer if itss wrong,   : )
