The diagram illustrates the photosynthesis process in plants. The photosynthesis is the primary process that enables a plant to create its food in order to maintaine its life and functions.
Photosynthesis require certian conditions to occur, primarly the availablity of sun and water. The plant has to be in an open area that is exposed to the sun, with abundency of water. Plants absorb light energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the air, and water from the soil in order to produce food and oxygen; that’s the basic function of photosynthesis.
According to the illustration, this process employes many parts of the plant. First, chlorophyll is what enables the plant to absorb sun light, interstingly, it is also the reason that plants are green. Consequantly, an openning in the leaf called the stomata allows CO2 to enter. Roots absorb water from the ground then carried by the stems and deliverd to the rest of the plant.
Subsequently, after the leaf aquires these necessary elements, it produces the palnt’s food; sugar. The plant uses sugar to fuel its functions and stores the excess in the roots as starch in order to use it again when needed. Moreover, the stomata takes part again in the process by enabling transpiration, which is the way vapor resulting from oxygen and water exits the plant.
