- Sunlight
- Light energy, captured by chlorophyll in the leaves.
- Carbon dioxide in
- The plant takes in carbon dioxide from the air through tiny pores called stomata.
- Oxygen out
- Oxygen is released into the air as a by-product.
- Water from roots
- Roots absorb water from the soil, and it travels up the stem to the leaves.
- Glucose made in leaves
- The leaves turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose, the plant’s food, inside chloroplasts.
