The three main parts of a plant are the leaves, stem, and roots. The roots absorb water and minerals from the soil and fix the plant in place. The stem transports these nutrients from the roots to the leaves. In the leaves, photosynthesis takes place, mixing water, minerals, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce glucose and release oxygen.

1. PARTS OF THE PLANT AND FUNCTIONS
By Andrés Arévalo

3. There are three main parts in the plant:
Leaves
Stem
Roots

4. 1. The roots
They fix the plant to the ground.

5. They absorb water and minerals
from the soil.

6. 2. The stem
It supports the leaves.

7. It transports water and
minerals from the roots
to the leaves.

8. 3. The leaves
In the leaves,
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
takes place.

9. The leaves mix:
- Water and minerals from the soil.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2).
- Sunlight.

10. 4. What happens after
photosynthesis?
The plant produces SAP
or GLUCOSE.

11. The leaves release
oxygen to the atmosphere.

12. 5. Sap or glucose
Sap circulates from the leaves to the
rest of the plant.

13. 6. Respiration in plants
During the day, plants release oxygen
to the atmosphere.

14. During the night, plants release
carbon dioxide to the atmosphere.

15. It colours the leaves green.
It is essential for photosynthesis.
7. Chlorophyll
