What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis

is the process of
making food by plants.
The essential ingredients includes
sunlight, the chlorophyll that is
present in green plants, water and
carbon dioxide in the air.

Where does photosynthesis

occur?
Photosynthesis

occurs in the
leaves of a plant.

Sunlight is used to break down the water

in the plant into oxygen which the plant
gives off and we use to breathe.

Water is taken in through the roots of the

plant and transported to the leaves by the
xylem (tubes that carry water) in the stems.

Carbon dioxide that

animals breathe out to the
air goes into the leaves
through the tiny pores
called stomata and is
spreads to the cells that
contain chlorophyll in the
inside layer of the leaf.

EQUATION

Why do plants need glucose?

Glucose

is the food for the plant. It

gives the plant energy to grow.

How much glucose does a plant

make?

Plants make enough glucose to be used

during the night and on cloudy days when
they dont get sunlight. The extra glucose
is stored in the plants leaves and other
parts.

Photosynthesis is necessary not just for plants to

make food for themselves, but for animals, including
us eventually.
