Standard Grade Biology
Photosynthesis
•
Green plants
(producers)
can use
light
energy
to make their own food
•
This process is called
photosynthesis
•
Green plants are green because they
contain a chemical called
chlorophyll
. This
chemical is used to trap light energy.
•
Chlorophyll
is contained in the
chloroplasts
of plant cells
•
Light energy is used to change
carbon
dioxide
and
water
into
starch
and
oxygen
•
The word equation for photosynthesis is
carbon + water
starch + oxygen
dioxide
Light energy

Green plants use photosynthesis to make their own food by converting light energy into starch and oxygen through chlorophyll in the chloroplasts of their cells. Learn about the structure of a leaf and how to test for starch in this informative presentation.
