Multiple Choice

What do all plants have?

• sides

• cells

• chloroplasts

• nutrients

Photosynthesis

How plants make food

Multiple Choice

What is the source of energy for plants to make food?

• other plants

• the sun

• the moon

• animals

Multiple Select

What do plants need to make food?

• water & oxygen

• water & carbon dioxide

• oxygen & dirt

• carbon dioxide & oxygen

REACTANTS of PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Plants need WATER and CARBON DIOXIDE to make food.

Multiple Choice

How do plants get the water they need to make food?

• roots bring water in from the soil

• the leaves bring water in from the air

• the flowers collect water

• seeds spread out to find water

Multiple Choice

What is the food that plants make called?

• glucose

• oxygen

• leaves

• carbon dioxide

Multiple Choice

Glucose is a kind of --

• meat

• air

• sugar

• leaf

PRODUCTS of PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Plants PRODUCE glucose (sugar) and oxygen

How does Photosynthesis Work?

• Plants use carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to make food inside of their leaves.

• Leaves are mde up of many tiny cells. Inside of each cell you can find chloroplast. Chloroplast is what makes leaves green!

Chlorophyll

The green substance in plants that uses light to manufacture food from carbon dioxide and water.

Stomata

Tiny pores in the bottom of leaves.

Stoma- Stomata

The tiny holes open and allow CO2 to enter the plant.

CO2

Co2 enters the plant through the leaves. Leaves have microscopic holes in them called Stoma (stomata)

Co2

carbon dioxide is in the air. Humans and animals exhale CO2 during respiration (when they breath)

Water is absorbed through the roots of the plant

tiny tube like structures called Xylem carry the water to the leaves so photosynthesis can occur

Xylem

tube like structures that carry water up from the roots to the leaves

Multiple Choice

Type of plant that is usually taller (longer) and has vascular tissue (xylem and phloem) that provides support

• vascular plant

• nonvascular plant

• xylem

• phloem

Multiple Choice

The process by which plants make food

• Photosynthesis

• phototropism

• embryo

• seeds

Multiple Choice

Examples of these plants include mosses, liverworts, and other plants with no xylem or phloem
