Plants perform photosynthesis to produce their own food. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water to produce glucose and oxygen. It occurs in the leaves of plants, where chlorophyll absorbs sunlight and carbon dioxide enters through pores called stomata. The plant cells then produce glucose and release oxygen through the stomata, providing the plant with food and the atmosphere with oxygen.

4. WHAT DO
PLANTS
NEED FOR
GROWING?
Plants need
sunlight,carbon
dioxide and
water.
Photosynthesis

5. WHERE DO PHOTOSYNTHESIS OCCUR?
1. LEAVES HAVE TINY PORES CALLED STOMATA AND CARBON
DIOXIDE ENTERSTHE PLANT FORTHESE STOMATA
2. PLANT CELLS CONTAINS CHLOROPHYLL
3. CARBON DIOXIDE+WATER
CHLOROPHYLL SUNLIGHT
Photosynthesis
GLUCOSE + OXYGEN
4. OXYGEN LEAVETHE PLANTTHROUGHTHE STOMATA
5. GLUCOSE IS LIKE FOOD FORTHE PLANT (THE PARTTHEY
CAN NOT EAT,THEY KEEP IT)

6. There are many different plants…
