green leaves photosynthesis chlorophyll

1 When plants use energy from sunlight to make nutrients,

we call this process
2 This process mainly takes place in the cells of the plants

3 These cells contain a green substance called
, which absorbs the Suns energy.

2 Tick the sentences that are true.

1 Photosynthesis only takes place inside the plants stem.

 he cells of a plant contain a green substance called
chlorophyll that absorbs the Suns energy.
3 Plants respire continuously to absorb oxygen.

4 P
 lants expel oxygen through their roots during
photosynthesis.

1 Photosynthesis produces oxygen as a waste gas.
 lants expel oxygen, water vapour and carbon dioxide
2 P
through little holes in their leaves called stomata.
3 P
