How do
plants make
their food?

By Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants make

their own food, by using carbon dioxide, water, chlorophyll
and sunlight.

Where photosynthesis
occurs

In Green Leaves
 Reaction of Photosynthesis

Sunlight

6 CO2 + 6 H2O 6 C6H12O6 + 6O2 + ENERGY

Chlorophyll

Requirements for Photosynthesis

1. Carbon Dioxide
2. Water
3. Sunlight
4. Chlorophyll

1. Carbon Dioxide: Plants get carbon dioxide from air.

Air has 0.03 % of CO2. .

2. Water: Plants get water from the soil through

 their roots .

Plants take water by roots

3. Chlorophyll : It is the green pigment present in

green leaves. Chlorophyll is present in the chloroplast of
cell .
