Things to consider

How do humans get energy?

What do all organisms need to survive?

What form of energy comes from the Sun?

How do cells obtain energy?

Why are plants so important?

What is photosynthesis? The process that plants use to make

their own food (in the form of glucose) In plant cells, organelles called

chloroplasts contain chlorophyll

Chlorophyll makes photosynthesis possible

The chlorophyll absorbs sunlight.

The sunlight is combined with water,

and carbon dioxide.

The chlorophyll processes the ingredients and makes glucose and oxygen. This process is called photosynthesis.

Write a WORD equation for the photosynthesis reaction.

Plants and animals need each other to survive.

Animals including humans make the CO2 (carbon dioxide) plants need.Plant use light energy to make the O2 (oxygen) and C6H12O6 (glucose) we need.

Use the information above to write a chemical equation showing the photosynthesis reaction
