Photosynthesis is the creation of sugar and oxygen from water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight
Oh my! you startled me.....are you saying you don't know about photosynthesis?
ooh I know what that is! Its Water!!
they eat sunlight??
haha not exactly. There is a few more things we need, we need Co2 and H2O.....Correct! Plant leaves are very important because they help us take in these necessary reactants
its basically how plants create their food
Take me for example, I am the chloroplast ,the basis of photosynthesis. I take sunlight and that is what plants use for energy, its called light energy
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
I love sugar!!
The equation shows us that Co2 and H20 (6 each) will give us glucose and oxygen
glucose is a simple sugar that helps plants grow! and of course oxygen is what we all use for respiration.
Now let's talk about the products. If you look here you can see the photosynthesis equation
Thank you!
oh so plants get their food from the sun and then they also help us? so it benefits everyone!
Yup you got it, plants work very hard! so next time you see a pretty flower, think about how it gets it energy!
umm....sure honey...sure
Wow this was fun mommy! I want to try photosynthesis
