Answer 2

The process of making soluable foods from carbon dioxide and water.

Question 3

How do plant leaves get the water they need for photosynthesis?

Answer 3

The water needed for photosynthesis is absorbed through the roots and transported through tubes to the leaf.

Question 4

Describe how leaves are adapted to maximise photosynthesis

Answer 4

The stomata allows carbon dioxide into the leaf and oxygen out. Some of this water evaporates, and the water vapour can then escape from inside the leaf.

Question 5
