PHOTOSYNTHESIS

All living things need energy to grow, interact, reproduce and exchange gases. We get our energy by eating plants and animals, but plants can produce their own food. This process is called:

PLANT FOOD RECIPE

01 Photosynthesis

• Energy from the Sun.
• Water and minerals.
• Carbon dioxide from the air.
• Chlorophyll in the chloroplasts.

Ingredients

1. Use chlorophyll to take energy from the Sun.
2. Absorb water and minerals from the soil.
3. Use the Sun's energy to combine the water and minerals with the carbon dioxide from the air.

Preparation

1. The roots absorbs water and minerals from the soil. Plant cells, called xylem cells, carry these nutrients as sap through the stem to the leaves.
2. Leaves absorb carbon dioxide through their stomata.
3. The chlorophyll in the chloroplasts in the plant cells, traps energy from the Sun. The plant uses this energy to turn the water, minerals and carbon dioxide into food, called glucosa. The plant then expels excess of oxygen through the stomata.
4. Plant cells, called phloem cells, carry the glucose in phloem sab to the rest of the plant.

water + minerals +carbon dioxide + sunlight + chlorophyll= glucose and oxigen
