Doesn't the plant still need to produce energy to emit light? Won't that energy have to come from somewhere? Soil nutrients and water require energy to generate

Doesn't the plant still need to produce energy to emit light? Won't that energy have to come from somewhere? Soil nutrients and water require energy to generate and transport.
- oneandoneis2 13y agoYou know plants get their energy from sunlight, right..?
- Klinky 13y agoWater is used in photosynthesis. Nutrients are required to support the plant so it can continue to grow and produce energy from the sun. The distribution of water has it's own energy hungry pitfalls. Fertilizer production and distribution also requires significant energy. Water, fertilizer and maintenance costs are one of the big hindrances to making biofuels net energy positive.
