Photosynthesis Week 1.1

A gas from the air (written as CO₂) that plants take in through their leaves for photosynthesis.

• water

• glucose

• oxygen

• carbon dioxide

A liquid (written as H₂O) absorbed by the roots and used in photosynthesis.

• glucose

• oxygen

• carbon dioxide

• water

The gas released by plants as a waste product of photosynthesis. It is essential for animals and humans to breathe. (written as O₂)

• glucose

• oxygen

• carbon dioxide

• water

The sugar (food) produced by plants during photosynthesis. Its formula is C₆H₁₂O₆.

• glucose

• oxygen

• carbon dioxide

• water

Energy from the sun that travels in waves and gives light and heat.  You may also see this called light energy, sunlight, solar energy.  The energy source for photosynthesis.

• chemical reaction

• photosynthesis

• energy

• radiant energy

The ability to do work or cause change (sunlight provides energy for photosynthesis).

• chemical reaction

• photosynthesis

• energy

• radiant energy

The process plants use to make their own food (glucose) using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.

• chemical reaction

• photosynthesis

• energy

• radiant energy

A process where substances are changed into others.

• chemical reaction

Absorb water and nutrients from the soil.

• nutrients

• stem

• roots

• leaf/leaves

The main site of photosynthesis.
