Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis 


Photosynthesis is how plants grow and make food. 


Plants are incredibly useful to scientists. Plants contain
chemicals and materials. Items such as toothpaste and T-shirts have
plants in them.


A plant starts as a seed and then begins to grow its roots.
But a plant can’t do that with just a seed. You need water,
sun and chlorophyll water, oxygen and carbon dioxide. 


Chlorophyll is a green photosynthetic pigment found in
plants, algae, and cyanobacteria. Chlorophyll is also what
makes a plant green. It helps when the plant is green
because then the sun will be attracted to the plant. It’s also
really helpful with the rotation of the plant sack.


Animals including humans could not survive without plants. 
Some animals feed on plants and other animals feed on the
plant eating animals. If you trace back what each animal eats in a
food chain it will always begin with plants. 


    Facts:

  • There is only one way to make photosynthesis happen
  • It takes six molecules of water and six molecules of
carbon dioxide to make one molecule of glucose during photosynthesis.
