- The Story of a Food AtomFood: AppleAtom: HydrogenBy: Rinoa Rodriguez
- This apple is great! The apple contains simple carbohydrates, which is made up of hydrogen, oxygen, and carbon.
- Henry, the polar bear dropped his apple while running to meet up with his friends. The worm saw the apple and decomposed it.
- The worm decomposes the apple. Decomposing is when a decomposer (worms, bacteria, fungus, etc.) breaks down dead substances into simpler matter (carbon dioxide, water, simple sugars, etc.)
- Oh no! I'm late to meet up with my friends. I better hurry!
- Once the worm has fully decomposed the apple, the apple has turned into nutrients for the soil. The soil can then take the nutrients and use it for a plant's growth. The plant will absorb the nutrients through their roots by water, and use it for photosynthesis. Water is made up of hydrogen and oxygen.
- The plant absorbs water through its roots. This water (H2O) contains nutrients from the soil for the plant.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) is taken in through the plants stomata.
- The sunlight gives energy to the plant, which is absorbed by the chloroplasts.
- The plant uses energy to create glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen. Some oxygen is released into the atmosphere while the rest of the oxygen is stored and spread throughout the plant.
- This person is now picking oranges off the tree, which contains water and carbohydrates. Both substances contain hydrogen in them.
