What is the main function of the flower?
Reproductive part of the plant
This process uses carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
Photosynthesis
Producers

Vascular plants
This process happens in both plant and animal cells.
Cellular respiration
What is the main function of leaves?
Make food with photosynthesis

oxygen and glucose (sugar)
What is glucose?
sugar
This part of the vascular plant transports water.
Xylem
In photosynthesis what is the job of the sun?
Provide energy
