Photosynthesis is the process through which plants use the sun's energy to make their own food. The reactants are carbon dioxide and water. The plants get the carbon dioxide through the stomata which are the tiny pores on the underside of the leaf. They get the water through the roots. The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. The oxygen is released through the stomata or used in respiration. The glucose is the food the plant needs. It is converted into starch which is stored in the leaf. Photosynthesis also releases energy. Sunlight is needed for photosynthesis to take place so it only happens in the day time and happens more in summer than in winter. Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in leaves, is also needed. Photosynthesis takes place in the palisade cells in the leaf.

Word equation for photosynthesis:

___________________in the presence of sunlight + chlorophyll

Carbon dioxide + water ------------------------------------------> glucose + oxygen + energy

Balanced chemical equation:

6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2
