Plants: parts and functions, Photosynthesis. 1. What is a plant? Plants are living things that are born, grow, reproduce and die. A plant is a living thing that is born, grows, reproduces and dies. 2. Write the parts of a plant. sap bud flower leaf (leaves) fruit roots stem seeds 3. Parts of the plant: functions:. a.

Which part of the plant contains seeds? _____The fruits__________________________________________ h. Which part of the plant contains an embryo plant? ___The seed____________________________________________ Photosynthesis Plants are autotrophs. This means they make their own food. This process is called Photosynthesis. Photosynthesis happens in the plant’s leaves. 1. Photosynthesis uses light energy from the Sun. Plants die if they have no light. 2. The leaves contain a green chemical called chlorophyll, which absorbs light energy. 3. The roots absorb water from the soil. The water goes to the leaves. 4. The carbon dioxide goes into the leaf through tiny holes. The holes are called stomata. 5. The leaves use light energy, carbon dioxide and water to make glucose. It is the plant’s food. 6. The sap transports the food around the plant. 7. The waste product of photosynthesis is oxygen.
