• Most plants that have chlorophyll can make
their own food through the process called
photosynthesis. These plants have an
autotrophic mode of nutrition

• Some plants do not have chlorophyll, so they

• The word photosynthesis is
derived from the words photos
meaning light and synthesis
meaning to make. Most plants are
green due to the presence of a
pigment called chlorophyll that
helps to absorb the light energy

environment to gulcose and
oxygen through the process
called photosynthesis. Gulcose is
food for the plant
