How plants absorb solar energy to make food

• Almost all plants a green because they contain Chlorophyll
• Chlorophyll is a substance that traps energy from the Sun,
• Most of the chlorophyll is in the plants leaves
• Without chlorophyll plants cannot make food
• Only plants have chlorophyll
• Plants use Chlorophyll to convert light energy into chemical energy that is stored in food
• The leaves of plants collect the suns energy and use it for photosynthesis
• The foods made by photosynthesis are simple sugars like glucose.
• The sugars are stored as starch in part of plants like the leaves, stems roots and seeds
• Plants also use water and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
• Plants absorb water mainly through their roots
• Plants absorb carbon dioxide though their leaves
