Sunlight Energy
This is the main source of energy plants use for photosynthesis.
What is Sunlight?
Chloroplasts are found inside these plant parts.
What are leaves?
Plants release this gas into the air during photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
Plants take in this gas from the air for photosynthesis.
What is carbon dioxide?
Roots absorb this substance from the soil.
What is water?
Plants trap sunlight using this green pigment.
What is Chlorophyll?
Chloroplasts contain chlorophyll, which helps plants do this.
What is photosynthesis?
Roots absorb this substance from the soil.
What is glucose?
Tiny openings in leaves that let carbon dioxide enter are called these.
What are stomata?
This plant part carries water from the roots to the leaves.
What is the stem?
This part of sunlight gives plants the energy they need most.
What is light energy?
Most photosynthesis happens inside this part of the plant cell.
What is the chloroplast?
This gas is released when plants split water molecules during photosynthesis.
What is oxygen?
Carbon dioxide enters mostly through this part of the plant.
What are the leaves?
Water moves through these tiny tubes inside the stem.
What is xylem?
Without sunlight, plants cannot complete this process.
What is photosynthesis?
This part of the plant is packed with cells that contain many chloroplasts because it absorbs the most sunlight.
What are the leaves?
Explain why glucose is important for plants.
Glucose gives plants energy to grow and survive.
Explain what could happen if a plant cannot get enough carbon dioxide.
The plant may not be able to make enough food and could grow poorly or die.
Explain why water is important during photosynthesis.
Because without water, the plant would not successfully go through photosynthesis.
Explain why sunlight is important for life on Earth through photosynthesis.
Sunlight makes plants, which provides food for almost everything on earth.
Describe the job of chloroplasts during photosynthesis.
Chloroplasts capture sunlight and use it to help make glucose during photosynthesis.
Compare the roles of oxygen and glucose in photosynthesis.
Oxygen is released into the air, while glucose is used by the plant as food and energy.
Describe how carbon dioxide helps plants make food.
Carbon dioxide combines with water using sunlight energy to help plants make glucose.
Describe the path water takes from the roots to the leaves during photosynthesis.
Water is absorbed by the roots, travels through the xylem in the stem, and reaches the leaves for photosynthesis.
