Photosynthesis Lesson

• mostly plants

• produce their own food to create energy

  • photosynthesis: use light from the sun to create food (plants)

  • chemosynthesis: use chemicals to create their food

​

Autotrophs

Multiple Choice

What types of organisms make their own food?

• animals

• fungi

• plants

Multiple Choice

In photosynthesis, plants use what type of energy to create their food?

• chemical

• light

• water

• oxygen

• chloroplasts are the organelle where photosynthesis happens

• green due to pigments called chlorophyll

• chlorophyll helps capture the sunlight

​

​chloroplast

Multiple Choice

Which number on the plant cell is where photosynthesis occurs?

• 2

• 4

• 1

• 6

• 9

• When thinking about photosynthesis, think about what it takes to keep a plant alive:

  • what goes in: water, light, and carbon dioxide

  • what goes out: oxygen and sugar
    
    

​
