I WONDER - How Do Plants Make Food?

Plants use sunlight to produce energy through photosynthesis, a process involving chlorophyll, a green pigment found in chloroplasts. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, converting it into chemical energy that plants use. Without sunlight, plants cannot survive.

What is the process called where plants use sunlight to create their own food?

• Respiration

• Photosynthesis

• Transpiration

• Fermentation

What is the primary function of chlorophyll in plants?

• To repel insects

• To absorb sunlight

• To store water

• To provide structural support

Where is chlorophyll located within the plant cells?

• In the cell wall

• In the nucleus

• In the chloroplasts

• In the mitochondria

How does chlorophyll help plants use sunlight?

• By converting it into chemical energy

• By storing it as electrical energy

• By converting it into heat energy

• By reflecting it away

What would happen to plants without sunlight?

• They would change color

• They would not survive

• They would produce more flowers

• They would grow faster
