Photosynthesis
Storyboard Text
- The process of photosynthesis is where plants use sunlight to make their own food. This is an important part in the plants life's this food is what allows the plant to grow and develop
- The Process of Photosynthesis
- The first part of this process is when the sun shines on a plant. The photons from this light energy hit the chloroplasts of the plant cell
- Sun
- There is a chemical inside these chloroplasts called chlorophyll. The chlorophyll absorbs the photons of this light energy
- Oxygen escapes the plant through the air
- Hydrogen
- Water is absorbed through the roots
- The plant gets water by absorbing it through its roots underground. These water molecules are transferred into the plants leaves, and are also split by the photons that were gained from the light energy of the sun. Oxygen gets released from the plant through air, while hydrogen stays in the chloroplasts of the plant
- Carbon Dioxide
- Hydrogen
- Carbon dioxide enters the plant through small openings on the surface of the leaves
- The carbon dioxide then combines with the hydrogen that stayed in the plant, and once they combine, they create Glucose. Glucose is the food that the plant eats. Also as a result of this, more oxygen is released through the air
- More oxygen that escapes through the air
- Glucose
- In short, photosynthesis is:Sunlight + CO2 + H2O ----- CHO + O2
