PHOTOSYNTHESISPLANTS AND FOOD
LIGHT
CARBON DIOXIDE + WATER GLUCOSE + OXYGEN
PLANTS MAKE FOOD
Green plants make their own food. The food that they make is a
type of sugar called glucose. The process of making glucose is
called photosynthesis.
photo = light
synthesis = to make
Photosynthesis means using light to make glucose sugars.
This takes place in the leaves of the plant.
PLANTS
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts of plant cells. These
structures contain a green pigment called chlorophyll which
absorbs light.
The energy transferred is used to change carbon dioxide and water
into glucose and oxygen.

CO2 + H20 GLUCOSE + O2

WATER & CARBON DIOXIDE
Water and carbon dioxide are the reactants for photosynthesis.
