Understanding Leaf Structure and Photosynthesis in Biology
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.

Leaf Structure and Photosynthesis 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 Light energy carbon + water dioxide starch + oxygen
