A sunflower says, “I can’t photosynthesize today!” What’s probably wrong?
What is it’s cloudy or nighttime?
The 3 ingredients for photosynthesis.
Carbon dioxide, water, and energy from the sun
How does a plant use carbon monoxide?
It doesn't.
This natural resource from the soil travels through the xylem to reach the leaves.

B. Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light ----> Sugar + Oxygen
What part of the plant becomes a fruit after pollination?
The flower
Where does ALL the energy living things on Earth need ultimately come from?
The SUN
How does a human use carbon dioxide?
It doesn't. It's a waste product.
This part of a plant carries glucose down from the leaves to the rest of the plant,
Phloem
If a plant doesn’t get enough sunlight, this happens to its food-making process.
It slows down/dies!
Why do we think fruits were made to taste SO good?
So that animals will eat them and disperse them elsewhere
