1. L.OL.07.63 Evidence that Plants make, use and store Food
Plants use Carbon Dioxide and Water to make Glucose -
It’s Photosynthesis

2. Evidence Plants make food
Plants produce glucose.
Glucose can be combined into larger molecules of carbohydrates and fats.
Carbohydrates and fats can add minerals from the soil to make proteins.
Animals gain energy and useful material by eating plants

3. Evidence Plants make food
Tests can be done that indicate the presence of carbohydrates, fats and proteins like using the indicator iodine to detect starch (a carbohydrate).

Plants that start from a seed use the food inside the seed to grow roots, stems and leaves.
The seed coat shrivels and falls off as the food is used up.

5. Evidence Plants store food
Plant structures such as
seeds, roots, nuts and fruits
contain nutrients and have
calories.

6. Evidence Plants store food

the size of the fruit, nut
root and/or seed increases
indicating food storage
Extra food is stored in the roots, leaves and seeds.
