This is the process by which plants make their own food using sunlight.
what is photosynthesis
This part of the plant is where photosynthesis takes place
what is a leaf
Photosynthesis needs sunlight, water, and this gas to make food.
what is carbon dioxide (CO2 )
This is the sugar that plants make in photosynthesis and use for energy.
what is glucose
This group of plants uses photosynthesis to create food, just like trees and flowers.
what are all plants
This gas is taken in by plants during photosynthesis.
what is carbon dioxide (CO2 )
This green pigment inside plant cells helps absorb sunlight.
what is chlorophyll
in photosynthesis, plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into this.
what is glucose
This molecule is made when plants split water in the light-dependent reactions.
what is oxygen (02)
These small sea plants perform photosynthesis and are an important part of the ocean food chain.
what are phytoplankton?
Photosynthesis helps plants make this type of sugar, which they use for energy.
what is glucose?
These tiny openings on the surface of leaves let gases in and out.
what is stomata
The process of making food in plants happens in these two main stages.
what is the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle?
This is the process by which water evaporates from plant leaves.
what is transpiration
This type of plant can perform photosynthesis at night by storing carbon dioxide during the day.
what is cactus
Plants release this gas into the air as a byproduct of photosynthesis
What is oxygen (02)
This structure inside the leaf holds chlorophyll and carries out photosynthesis.
what is chloroplast
In the light-dependent reactions, this molecule is created and helps store energy for the plant.
what is ATP
This molecule is used to carry energy in the cell and helps the plant grow.
what is ATP
This is the most common type of photosynthesis, found in most plants, such as trees and grasses.
what is C3 photosynthesis
Plants turn sunlight into chemical energy during this process.
what is photosynthesis
This part of the plant carries water from the roots to the leaves.
what is the xylem?
The Calvin cycle uses this energy-carrying molecule to make glucose.
what is NADPH?
Plants need this gas, which comes from the air, for photosynthesis.
what is carbon dioxide (CO2)
The process of photosynthesis is responsible for producing this important gas that humans breathe.
what is oxygen (02)
