How Plants Make Food

Also called

photosynthesis

What to look for

  • Green plants use light energy to make sugars from water and carbon dioxide.
  • Roots take up water, and carbon dioxide enters leaves through tiny openings called stomata.
  • Photosynthesis releases oxygen; the plant uses and stores the sugars it makes.

Try this

Find the arrows for light, water and carbon dioxide. Which gas leaves the leaf?
