Photosynthesis

• Things needed for Photosynthesis

  • Water
  • Carbon Dioxide
  • Sunlight
  • Chlorophyll
• Photosynthesis


  1. Travels up the root

  2. Enters the leaf through small holes on the underside

  3. Gives energy - Sunlight

  4. Happens in the palisade cells

  5. Chemical reactions for photosynthesis happen in Chlorophyll
• Photosynthesis


  Happens in the palisade layer of the leaf
• Palisade layer


  Upper surface of the leaf
• Chloroplasts


  Contain Chlorophyll, which is a green pigment found on the leaf
• Chlorophyll


  Absorbs the light energy needed for photosynthesis
• Reactants of photosynthesis


  • Carbon Dioxide
  • Water
• Chloroplasts


  Contain Chlorophyll
