The color of leaves help....

• to diffuse gases easily

• to capture light energy

• to transport water efficiently

• to bring nutrient close to each cell

The picture shows the steps that happen during photosynthesis:

What is happening in number 1?

• Carbon Dioxide is entering through the stomata and oxygen is leaving the leaf.

• The roots are absorbing water and nutrients from the soil.

• Sugar and water is being carried throughout the plant by the vein.

• Sun light is being turned into energy and stored in the chlorophyll.
