1. Photosynthesis
By: Latorrian Beaumont

2. Objectives: at the end of the lesson,
student should be able to;
Learn what photosynthesis is and
how it helps plants.
Learn what a plant needs for
photosynthesis.

3. What is photosynthesis?
Plants make their own food. This
process is called photosynthesis.

4. Where does photosynthesis occur?
Photosynthesis occurs in the leaves
of a plant.

5. What is needed for
photosynthesis to occur?
Light is needed for photosynthesis to occur.
The plant’s leaves use the light to make a sugar
called glucose (Blankenship, R.E., 2002).

6. Why do plants need glucose?
Glucose is the food for the plant. It
gives the plant energy to grow.

7. How much glucose does a plant
make?
Plants make enough glucose to be used during the
night and on cloudy days when they don’t get
sunlight. The extra glucose is stored in the plant’s
leaves and other parts.

8. How does photosynthesis help us?
During the process of photosynthesis,
oxygen is produced. We use this oxygen to
breathe(Campbell, N., & Reece, J., 2005)
