chlorophyll
The form of sugar (food) the plants make is called __________
glucose

Energy
Why is the survival of both plants and animals depend on photosynthesis?
Photoynthesis produces oxygen that animals need to breathe and live. Animals release carbon dioxide which plants need for photosynthesis to make food.
How do plants obtain energy
Plants obtain energy from sunlight
5 steps of photosynthesis
- Leaves take in carbon dioxide and sunlight
- Roots take in water
- Chlorophyll in the leaves user energy from sun to change carbon dioxide to glucpse/
- Glucose gives the plant energy
- Leaves give off oxygen.
