Light
Source of energy for the process
1 of 22
Carbon dioxide
Gas stored through the leaves
2 of 22
Water
Liquid absorbed through the roots
3 of 22
Oxygen
Gas given out from the leaves
4 of 22
Chlorophyll
A substance for the process
5 of 22
Glucose
Stores the energy from the process
6 of 22
Nucleus
Controls all its functions
7 of 22
Hydrogen

Importance of photosynthesis
Begins all food chains and webs. All life supported by the process. Makes oxygen gas
16 of 22
Autotrophic process
Plants make their energy (glucose) from the sunlight

Chloroplasts
20 of 22
What are chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are tiny objects containing chlorophyll
