What is photosynthesis?

• Process plants use to make their
  own food
• Plants’ leaves contain chlorophyll
• Chlorophyll (green color) makes
  photosynthesis possible
The chlorophyll absorbs the
sunlight.
The sunlight is combined with
water, Carbon Dioxide and nutrients
from the soil.



                      CO2
The chlorophyll processes the
ingredients and makes sugar (plant
food) and oxygen.
             Sugar + Air


                            O2
Plants and animals need
each other to survive.
Animals including humans
make the CO2 (carbon
dioxide) plants need.
They (the plants) make the
O2 (oxygen) and food we
need.
