4. Photosynthesis
Is how plants eat. They use
this process to make their
own food.

5. How does Photosynthesis
occur?

6. We need the following:

7. • Plants receive light to produce energy
Light
• Plants receive CO2 which passes through stomata
Carbon Dioxide ( CO2)
• Water is needed in the process of photosynthesis
Water

8. How do plants absorb
CO2, light, and
water?

10. Stomata
are pores underside of
the leaves where gas
exchange.

12. How come plants
have green color?

14. Chlorophyll
it gives the leaf green color and
traps energy from sunlight.

15. What are the
gases involved?

17. Plants
• Provide humans and
animals oxygen
Humans • Provide carbon
dioxide for the plants
Cycle

18. After absorption of
light, water, and gas;
photosynthesis takes
place and the end
product is glucose or
sugar.

19. Sugar is formed as
plants make food.
