Photosynthesis
The Way plants make their own food
StomatesO Small openning on the underside of
the leaf that open and close
Carbon dioxideO Carbon dioxide enters the leaf
through the stomates
rootsO Roots absorb water from the ground
and send it up to the leaves through the stem (xylem tubes)
chloroplastO Chloroplasts are cell organelles that
hold the chlorophyll
chlorophyllO Chlorophyll is the green substance
that captures the energy from the sun
The processO Chlorophyll captures energy from the
sun
Carbondioxide
O Carbon dioxide comes into the leaf from the stomates as water is let out
Making of sugarO The energy from the sun breaks
about the water molecule which gets mixed with the carbon dioxide to make simple sugar
Waste productO The waste product of photosynthesis
is oxygen, which allows us to exist
