Photosynthesis The Way plants make their own food

Stomates O Small openning on the underside of the leaf that open and close

Carbon dioxide O Carbon dioxide enters the leaf through the stomates

roots O Roots absorb water from the ground and send it up to the leaves through the stem (xylem tubes)

chloroplast O Chloroplasts are cell organelles that hold the chlorophyll

chlorophyll O Chlorophyll is the green substance that captures the energy from the sun

The process O Chlorophyll captures energy from the sun

Carbon dioxide O Carbon dioxide comes into the leaf from the stomates as water is let out

Making of sugar O The energy from the sun breaks about the water molecule which gets mixed with the carbon dioxide to make simple sugar

Waste product O The waste product of photosynthesis is oxygen, which allows us to exist
