Study Notes
Photosynthesis
- Sunlight is a good source of Vitamin D.
- Plants and trees make their food from sunlight through a process called Photosynthesis.
Photosynthesis Definition
- 'Photo' is a Greek word for Light and 'Synthesis' is a Greek word for 'Putting together'.
- Photosynthesis is using light to put things together, specifically, making food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
Plant Respiration
- Plants breathe just like humans, taking in carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen.
- They have tiny openings called Stomata in their leaves, through which they take in carbon dioxide.
Food Production in Plants
- Plants use water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to make food, which is absorbed by their roots.
- The leaves contain tiny pigments called Chloroplasts, which take in carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight, and turn them into sugar and oxygen.
- The sugar is used by the plants as their food, and the oxygen is given out into the atmosphere.
Chlorophyll and Plant Characteristics
- Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in the chloroplast of the plant, making it look green.
- Plants are often known as 'Lungs of the world' as they take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen, which humans breathe.
Photosynthesis
- Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and trees make their food from sunlight.
Photosynthesis Definition
- Photosynthesis is a Greek word derived from 'photo' meaning light and 'synthesis' meaning putting together, hence making food using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide.
Plant Respiration
- Plants breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen, just like humans.
- They have tiny openings called Stomata in their leaves, which facilitate the intake of carbon dioxide.
Food Production in Plants
- Plants use water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce food, which is absorbed through their roots.
- Chloroplasts, tiny pigments in the leaves, convert carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight into sugar and oxygen.
- Plants use the produced sugar as food, and release oxygen into the atmosphere.
Chlorophyll and Plant Characteristics
- Chlorophyll is a green pigment found in chloroplasts, giving plants their green color.
- Plants are often referred to as the 'Lungs of the world' due to their role in taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, essential for human respiration.

- Plants are often referred to as the 'Lungs of the world' due to their role in taking in carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen, essential for human respiration.
Photosynthesis
- Occurs in plants, using sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce food
- Term originates from Greek words "photo" (light) and "synthesis" (putting together)
Plant Respiration
- Plants inhale carbon dioxide and exhale oxygen, similar to human respiration
- Carbon dioxide enters plants through tiny openings called stomata on their leaves
Chlorophyll and Chloroplasts
- Chlorophyll is a green pigment in chloroplasts, responsible for plants' green color
- Chloroplasts are tiny pigments in plant leaves that absorb carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight to produce sugar and oxygen
Importance of Photosynthesis
- Crucial for plant growth and survival, providing energy and nutrients
- Plants produce oxygen for humans and other living organisms, earning them the nickname "lungs of the world"
