25
what is photosynthesis
the process where green plants use sunlight to make their own food
25
why do plants need photosynthesis
to transform water, sunlight and carbon dioxide into oxygen and simple sugars to use as fuels
26
what does a plant produce from photosynthesis
oxygen and simple sugars
27
what substances does a plant need to go through photosynthesis
water, sunlight and carbon dioxide
28
what substances does a plant need to go through photosynthesis
29
what is cell division
the process when a parent cell splits to form new cells, known as daughter cells
29
why is cell division important
it's important for living organisms as it is essential for growth and reproduction
