Presentation Transcript

  1. Leaf Structure and Photosynthesis Standard Grade Biology

  2. Photosynthesis • Green plants (producers) can use light energy to make their own food • This process is called photosynthesis • Green plants are green because they contain a chemical called chlorophyll. This chemical is used to trap light energy.

  3. Chlorophyll is contained in the chloroplastsof plant cells • Light energy is used to change carbon dioxideand water into starch and oxygen • The word equation for photosynthesis is carbon + water starch + oxygen dioxide Light energy

  4. Structure of a leaf

  5. Starch Test a Leaf
