Leaves catch carbon dioxide from the air and sunlight.

Making food

• In the leaves: food is made from raw sap, CO2 from the air and energy from the sun.

During this process, leaves release oxygen needed for breathing.

Food distribution

• Nutritional substances turn into 'elaborated sap'

• They are distributed to the entire plant.
