5. Why do plants conduct photosynthesis?

• To make light

• To make glucose

• To make mitochondria

• To release carbon dioxide

6. How does carbon dioxide get into the leaves of a plant?

• It's absorbed by the roots

• It enters through the stomata

• It's made in a chemical reaction in the stem

• It goes through the flowers
