    Unit 1: Life Energy

    Uploaded by

    Chrisel Joy Dela Cruz
    Plants use photosynthesis to convert light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide, and water into glucose, which is food for the plant. Photosynthesis requires three limiting factors: water absorbed through the roots and transported to the leaves, carbon dioxide that enters the leaves through stomata, and light energy from the sun that is absorbed by the chlorophyll in leaves.

    UNIT 1

    LIFE ENERGY

    LESSON 1: SUN,
    SOURCE OF ENERGY
    STORED FOOD

    Photosynthesis
    the process by which the chlorophyll in the leaves of

    plants capture light energy which they then use to change


    carbon dioxide and water into food. This plant food is
    called glucose.

    LIMITING FACTORS: 3 things a plant


    needs for photosynthesis
    Water
    Carbon dioxide
    Light energy from the sun

    WATER
    Plants absorb water through

    their roots.
    The water then goes from
    the roots up the stem to the
    leaves.

    SUNLIGHT
    The green leaves of a plant

    absorb light energy from


    the Sun.
    The plant uses the light
    energy to manufacture food
    from carbon dioxide and
    water.

    Plants use the light energy from the Sun to change

    carbon dioxide and water into food.
