Photosynthesis and Plant Functions

The video from MakeMeGenius.com explores the structure of leaves, focusing on cells and chloroplasts. It explains how chlorophyll gives leaves their green color and details the photosynthesis process, where plants convert carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight into glucose and oxygen. The video also discusses non-photosynthetic plants like mushrooms and the Venus flytrap, which obtain food differently. It concludes with a reminder of the resources available on MakeMeGenius.com.

Why is the process of making food by plants called photosynthesis?

• Because it involves mixing under sunlight

• Because it happens at night

• Because it uses water

• Because it produces oxygen

What is the role of leaves in a plant?

• They absorb nutrients from the soil

• They are the food factory of the plant

• They store water

• They provide support to the plant

How do mushrooms obtain their food?

• By producing glucose

• Through photosynthesis

• By absorbing nutrients from their surroundings

• By trapping insects

What is unique about the Venus flytrap?

• It performs photosynthesis

• It traps and eats insects

• It grows in water

• It produces its own food
