Photosynthesis Photosynthesis What is photosynthesis? The
process plants use to make their own food Photosynthesis takes
place in the leaves Plants leaves contain chloroplasts Chloroplasts
contain chlorophyll Chlorophyll (green color) makes photosynthesis
possible The chlorophyll absorbs the sunlight. The sunlight is
combined with water (H 2 O), Carbon Dioxide (CO 2 ) and nutrients
from the soil. CO 2 O2O2 Plants and animals need each other to
survive. Animals including humans make the CO 2 (carbon dioxide)
plants need. They (the plants) make the O 2 (oxygen) and food we
need.
