4. Photosynthesis
➢ Process where plants use energy
from the sun to change carbon
dioxide and water into sugar and
oxygen.
➢ Occurs in the leaf of a plant.
5. Chlorophyll
➢ A substance in the leaves that
captures energy from the sun.
➢ Makes the leaves GREEN!
➢ Helps the plants make sugars (result
of photosynthesis)
9. Process of Photosynthesis
1. Carbon dioxide enters the plants leaves through
tiny holes on the leaf.
2. Water from the soil enters the plants through its
leaves.
3. Chloroplasts capture energy from the sunlight.
4. Chlorophyll helps convert carbon dioxide, water,
and sunlight into sugar and oxygen.
10. I can explain how organisms
depend on their environment to
meet the general needs for their
survival.
I can explain the process of
photosynthesis.
