Photosynthesis 1
The process that uses energy from the sun to make food from water and carbon dioxide.
What is photosynthesis?
What structure transports water from roots upwards?
Xylem
Wrap the leaves of Plant A with plastic wrap or place a clear plastic bag over the leaves. Secure it with rubber bands to ensure the leaves are completely covered. Leave the leaves of Plant B uncovered. Both plants are healthy after the test. What does this experiment prove?
Plants absorb water through roots not leaves

What is chlorophyll?
Photosynthesis uses light energy, carbon dioxide, and ______ to produce oxygen and sugar.
What is water?
