Photosynthesis

You will learn about Photosynthesis in this video. Do you know how plants make their own food? They prepare their own food by a process called photosynthesis. Photo is the Greek word for light and synthesis is the Greek word for putting together. Plants need light from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air and water to prepare their own food. Photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of a plant \r
\r
Leaves have tiny pores called stomata through which carbon dioxide enters the plant. Plant cells contains tiny structures called chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll. Carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll get converted into oxygen and glucose. Oxygen then leaves the plant through the stomata. The glucose produced is used for the nourishment of the plant. The extra glucose produced is stored by the plant in the form of starch for later use. Thus, photosynthesis is the process by which plants prepare their own food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight.\r
