HW
Brainstorm

●What is the
main source of
energy in an
ecosystem?
To make food we
usually need
● And other resources
Plants make their
own food..
 Plants get energy through

Photosynthesis:
Is the process by which plants
manufacture their own food (glucose)
using sunlight, carbon dioxide and
water.

Part of the products of photosynthesis

is the production of oxygen
Photosynthesis
●Plants have tiny openings in their
leaves and they take in carbon
dioxide from air.
●They use water from rain in their
roots
●Plants put carbon, water and
sunlight and turn it into sugar and
oxygen.
●Sugar is used by plants for food
and extra sugar is stored when
limited sun exists.
