All plants use sugars (food) as energy to grow and complete other life activities. Unlike humans, plants can make their own food. By
collecting water from the ground, carbon dioxide from the air, and light from the sun, they can produce the food they need through
the process of photosynthesis. The most important part of photosynthesis is sunlight. To capture sunlight, plants must use a special
substance called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a green pigment in plants that traps light from the sun. This sunlight is then changed into
energy, in the form of sugar and oxygen. Some of the sugar and oxygen that plants make is used, some is stored for later.
Photosynthesis takes place during respiration, or whenever the plant breathes. In other words, it happens almost constantly. As
carbon dioxide is produced by animals and people, it is collected and used by plants to make food. Then, the oxygen that is not used
by the plant is released through the stomata to be used by other organisms (like humans!) for breathing. This never ending cycle
provides energy for all living beings.
