Understanding the Photosynthesis Process

let's learn about the process of photosynthesis [Music] do you know how plants make own food plants prepare their own food by a process called photosynthesis photo means light synthesis means putting together plants need sunlight plants need carbon dioxide from add plants need water from soil so plants need sunlight carbon dioxide from air and water from soil to prepare their own food photosynthesis takes place in the leaves of a plant [Music] leaves have tiny pores called stomata through which carbon dioxide enters the leaves plant cells contains tiny structures called chloroplasts that contain chlorophyll carbon dioxide plus water are converted by light energy through sunlight captured by chlorophyll [Music] into glucose and oxygen oxygen then leaves the plant through the stomata glucose gives nourishment to the plant [Music] the extra glucose produced is stored by the plant in the form of starch for later use photosynthesis is the process by which plants prepare their own food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and [Music] chlorophyll thank you for watching
