I can feel the time is coming closer for me to leave this world. My wish is to use photosynthesis one last time before that happens
What is photosynthesis?
Whaaat do you not know how you're even alive?
Slayt: 2
Ok so we and all plants go through a process called photosynthesis in which we make our own food and use that as fuel
Yes but what is it, can you explain more on how it works?
Of course!
Slayt: 3
We use the energy that we get from the sun, and use it to combine carbon dioxide in the air and the water from the ground to create glucose and oxygen
So the sunlight that shines on you... But what do we do with the oxygen and glucose?
Don't worry, I'll get to that
Slayt: 4
Then, the pigment in chloroplast, chlorophyl, in my leaves, absorb the energy from the sun. This is known as light-dependent reactions.
But how does the sunlight get inside of the chloroplast?
There are little pores outside of the chloroplast called stomata, which is where it goes through
Slayt: 5
Afterwards, the sunlight is used to combine carbon dioxide from the air and water we get from our roots to create glucose and oxygen. This is known as the light-dependent reaction.
What is the glucose and oxygen for?
Glucose is the sugar which we use for energy, and oxygen is just a waste product.

Did I do a good job of teaching? do you understand what photosynthesis is now?
Yes, I understand now but I need time to process everything!
