Photosynthesis or How Plants Make Food
Energy from the Sun is necessary to begin the process. Besides green plants, some algae and bacteria can also make their own food.
Radiant energy from the Sun, in the form of light, begins photosynthesis. Chlorophyll must also be present.
Water is taken into the plant by the roots and carried to the leaves through the xylem . Xylem is a series of tubes. H20 H20 H20
Carbon dioxide gas (CO2) is taken into the plant through the stomata on the underside of leaves. CO2 CO2 CO2 H20 H20 H20
Oxygen gas (O2) is released into the atmosphere through the stomata on theunder side of leaves. O2 O2 O2 H20 H20 H20
During photosynthesis, radiant (light) energy from the Sun is converted into chemical energy through a chemical reaction. The glucose (a type of sugar) that is produced is used both to keep the plants alive and stored by plants to be used by animals that then eat the plants.
Water vapor is released into the atmosphere through the stomata on the leaves. H20 H20 H20 This process is called transpiration.
Review the process. CO2 CO2 CO2 O2 O2 O2 H20 H20 H20 H20 H20 H20 Explain each step as it is shown.
Remember, this process is continuous in light. CO2 CO2 CO2 O2 O2 O2 H20 H20 H20 H20 H20 H20
