Photosynthesis and Plant Anatomy
This image shows the process of photosynthesis and the key anatomical parts of a plant.
Photosynthesis: Leaves use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create food (glucose) and oxygen. The chemical formula for this is:
6CO2+6H2O+light energy→C6H12O6+6O2
Plant Anatomy:
Roots: Absorb water (H2O) and nutrients (minerals) from the soil.
Stem: Transports water, nutrients, and food throughout the plant.
Leaves: The primary site of photosynthesis. They take in carbon dioxide (CO2 ) and release oxygen (O2).
Xylem and Phloem: Specialized tissues within the stem.
Xylem: Transports water and nutrients upward from the roots to the leaves.
Phloem: Transports the food (glucose) produced during photosynthesis downward from the leaves to the rest of the plant.
