Chloroplasts The food producers of plant cells
Plants are the basis for all life on Earth. They make… Sugars Oxygen
Steps of Photosynthesis 1. Sun’s energy hits a chloroplast. Chloroplast = tiny structures in leaf cells
2. Chlorophyll (chemical inside chloroplasts) uses sun’s energy to… Combine Carbon Dioxide and Water. CO² + H²O +
3. Molecular reaction creates sugar and oxygen…
Plant uses sugar for energy. Byproduct Oxygen sent into atmosphere.
