Understanding Photosynthesis: The Process of Plant Food Production

Photosynthesis is the process where plants convert CO2 and H2O into food. Discover the key steps in this vital process, starting with CO2 intake in the leaf, H2O absorption through roots, and the role of sunlight in creating chemical changes to produce sugar food and oxygen.

  1. Photosynthesis By Rileigh and Blaine

  2. Definition • Photosynthesis: is the process by which plants turn raw materials into food. • Raw Materials: Co2 and H2o • Equation: 6Co2+6H2o~light~=C6, H12, O6+6o2

  3. Step 1 • Co2 enters the leaf • The leaf is very important to Photosynthesis for it is the starting place of the process. • The typical leaf has an upper and lower epidermis, the mesophyll, the vascular bundles veins, and the stomates. Co2

  4. Step 2 • H2o enters through the roots. H2o

  5. Step 3 • Sunlight causes a chemical change when it passes through the water and the Co2. Sunlight causes a chemical change

  6. Step 4 • The plant makes sugar food from the chemical change caused by the water, sunlight, and Co2. Co2 Food for plant (sugar)

  7. Step 5 • The plant gives off O2 after the chemical change. oxygen oxygen
