Photosynthesis

Is the process through which a plant make its own food by converting light energy into chemical energy using water and carbon dioxide

Via photosynthesis

How plans make their own food?

Co2

Water

Light

What is required for photosynthesis?

Co2

Gained from air through their leaves

Water

Absorbed from the grounds through their roots

Light energy

From the sun

Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves of a plant

Where does photosynthesis occur?

Oxygen

Glucose (sugars)

What is produced from photosynthesis process?

Oxygen

Released into the air from the leaves

Glucose (sugars)

Turned into starch which is used to store energy

C02+H2O- C6 H12 O6 + O2

Equation of photosynthesis

Stomata

Carbon dioxide enters the leaf through the holes called ______. Oxygen goes out the same holes

A waste product

C02 combines with water through a chemical reaction to make glucose (a sugar) and oxygen (__________)

Tubes (phloem)

The sugar is moved through _______ in the leaf to the roots, stems, and fruits of the plants

Some is stored as starch; and some is used into building plant tissue

Some of the sugar is used right away by the plant for energy:

This is the food for the plants. It gives plants energy

Why do plants need glucose?

During the process of photosynthesis oxygen is produced

We use this oxygen to br

How does photosynthesis help us?
