Quiz time: What do leaves do to feed a plant?

📚 Quick Study Guide

☀️
• Photosynthesis: 🌱 Plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their food (sugar) and oxygen. This process happens in the leaves.
💧
• Chlorophyll: 🥬 This is the green pigment in leaves that captures sunlight, like a tiny solar panel.
💨
• Carbon Dioxide: 🌳 Plants absorb carbon dioxide ($CO_2$) from the air through small pores called stomata.
🛠️
• Water: 🌿 Water is absorbed through the roots and transported to the leaves.
🍬
• Sugar (Glucose): 🌾 The food produced by the plant during photosynthesis ($C_6H_{12}O_6$).
🌬️
• Oxygen: 🍃 Plants release oxygen ($O_2$) into the air as a byproduct of photosynthesis.
🧪
• Equation for Photosynthesis: $6CO_2 + 6H_2O + Sunlight \rightarrow C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6O_2$
