2. Table Partner Work List the differences between plants and animals
You have 2 minutes

3. What is photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is:
a chemical change that produces food in green plants
In photosynthesis, carbon dioxide gas, and water are combined to produce sugar and oxygen.
Sunlight supplies the energy for the chemical change.

6. Why is photosynthesis important?
It is the most important chemical process in the atmosphere
It allows plants to make their own food
It provides oxygen for animals
It makes complex sugars, starches, fats, and proteins

7. What is the formula for photosynthesis?
6CO2+ 6H2O + sunlight= C6H12O6 + 6O2
CO2 = carbon dioxide
H2O = water
light = sunlight
C6H12O6 = glucose (sugar)
O2 = oxygen
Process occurs in plant’s chlorophyll

8. Conclusion Almost all food on earth originates from green plants
Green plants carry on photosynthesis, which creates food for the plant and oxygen for animals

9. Exit Slip Define photosynthesis.
Explain why photosynthesis is important.
Recall what is needed for photosynthesis to take place.
