-Water 
-Sunlight ]]> 2017-11-07 03:07:54 UTC https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204191833 Carbon dioxide from the air passes through small pores (holes) in the leaves. These pores are called stomata. yesenia_ramos https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192220 2017-11-07 03:11:17 UTC https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192220 Water is absorbed by the roots and passes through vessels in the stem on its way to the leaves. yesenia_ramos https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192265 2017-11-07 03:11:40 UTC https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192265 Sunlight is absorbed by a green chemical in the leaves. yesenia_ramos https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192319 2017-11-07 03:12:12 UTC https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192319 Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of plants. The leaves are made up of very small cells. Inside these cells are tiny structures called chloroplasts. yesenia_ramos https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192433 2017-11-07 03:13:18 UTC https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192433 Each chloroplast contains a green chemical called chlorophyll which gives leaves their green color. yesenia_ramos https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192812 2017-11-07 03:16:30 UTC https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192812 Chlorophyll absorbs the sun’s energy. It is this energy that is used to split water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. yesenia_ramos https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192971 2017-11-07 03:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204192971 Oxygen is released from the leaves into the atmosphere. Hydrogen and carbon dioxide are used to form glucose or food for plants. yesenia_ramos https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204193145 2017-11-07 03:18:47 UTC https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204193145 Some of the glucose is used to provide energy for the growth and development of plants while the rest is stored in leaves, roots or fruits for later use by plants. yesenia_ramos https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204193300 2017-11-07 03:19:48 UTC https://padlet.com/yesenia_ramos/8bf6p3v8z90y/wish/204193300
