PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Photosynthesis starts with the Sun and a plant.
 | ||||
Water moves into plants from the roots.
Sunlight goes into the leaf.
Glucose is the plants food.
Oxygen goes into the air.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Gives Us
Food & Oxygen
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Takes
Carbon Dioxide
out of the air.
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use energy (from sunlight) to change carbon dioxide and water into sugar(Glucose). After that oxygen is released into the air.
| ||||
| ||||
Carbon dioxide is in the air.
Water is under the ground.
Plant roots are in the ground.
| ||||
| ||||
Carbon dioxide moves
into leaves.
| ||||
| ||||
Carbon dioxide and water are changed. They have changed into glucose and oxygen.
| ||||
| ||||
Glucose is in our food, too.
| ||||
| ||||
We take 12-20 breaths of oxygen every minute.
We eat the food that contains Glucose.
We can do this because of photosynthesis!
