Photo and synthesis. Photo means light, and synthesis means putting together. Plants need food but they have to make it themselves. This is done using light and the process is called photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make their own food.]]> 2017-03-27 16:48:13 UTC https://padlet.com/inelson5637/2lvmuxhdl9pc/wish/162886626 inelson5637 https://padlet.com/inelson5637/2lvmuxhdl9pc/wish/163194580

-The carbon dioxide passes through small pores in the leaves

-Water is absorbed by the roots and passes through vessels on its way to the stem

-Sunlight is absorbed by a green chemical in the leaves]]> 2017-03-28 16:47:34 UTC https://padlet.com/inelson5637/2lvmuxhdl9pc/wish/163195170 inelson5637 https://padlet.com/inelson5637/2lvmuxhdl9pc/wish/163197316
Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of the plant. The leaves are made up of small cells. Inside these cells are chloroplasts. Each chloroplast contains chlorophyll which makes the leaves green.

-Chlorophyll absorbs the suns energy.

-This energy splits the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen

-Oxygen is released into the atmosphere by the leaves

-Hydrogen and carbon dioxide form glucose or food for plants]]> 2017-03-28 16:54:03 UTC https://padlet.com/inelson5637/2lvmuxhdl9pc/wish/163197316
