PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Chlorophyll
The pigment that gives plants
their green color and helps in
the process of photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis is the process
where plants transform light
energy into chemical energy. Did you know?
Plants use this energy to make
There are organisms other than
their own food. The light energy
plants that can undergo
they captured is used to convert
photosynthesis. These include
carbon dioxide, water, and
algae and the emerald green
minerals into oxygen.

The
Photosynthesis
Process
Sun Plants take in water and carbon
dioxide and use energy from the
sun to turn them into food.
Oxygen Within the plant cell, water is
oxidized, loses electrons, and is
Carbon changed into oxygen. Carbon
dioxide dioxide is reduced, gains
Plant
electrons, and turns into glucose.
Oxygen is released, and glucose is
Water is absorbed stored within the plant as energy.
