Topic: Photosynthesis in Green Plants Part 1

1. All living things need to obtain energy from food.
2. Plants are producers and animals are consumers.
3. A food chain always begins with plants.
4. The process of producing food by plants is called photosynthesis.

5. Definition of photosynthesis
i.

It is the process by which green plants make use of carbon dioxide

and water to manufacture food in the presence of sunlight and
chlorophyll.

6. The food manufactured by the green plants is in the form of glucose, the
simplest carbohydrate.
7. The glucose first formed in the green leaf during photosynthesis is used by
the cells in two ways:
i.

to carry out cellular respiration to provide energy for the cells

activities.

ii.

to make cellulose cell wall.

8. The equation for photosynthesis is simplified below:
