How Plants Make Food

Follow sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into a plant and identify the products of photosynthesis.
The 3D viewer and AR open with a free Lably account.

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?
