PHOTOSYNTHYSIS: By Winton Horning
Step:1
Step:2 the plant collects water through it’s root system
Step:3
• In plants, photosynthesis usually occurs in the leaves. This is where plants can get the raw materials for photosynthesis all in one convenient location. Carbon dioxide and oxygen enter/exit the leaves through pores called stomata. Water is delivered to the leaves from the roots through a vascular system. The chlorophyll in the chloroplasts inside leaf cells absorbs sunlight.
Respiration
The chemical process by which sugars and starches are converted to energy is called oxidation and is similar to the burning of wood or coal to produce heat.
C6H12O6 + 6 O2 => 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Energy
