Photosynthesis by Annette M. Parrott www.africangreyparrott.com (to the tune of Copacobana) There is a process That plants can perform To get the nutrients they need To makes roots and stems and leaves And this process, is photosynthesis The “photo” part means light But it can synthesize at night It uses su-un-light carbon di-ox-ide a little bit of water— that’s H-2-O They are producers, First in the food chain, They have the largest biomass Moss, flowers ferns and trees, and grass. And since the root word “auto” means self We must conclude That they make their own food Photosynthesis………….how plants make food. So this process Chlorophyll Requires chlorophyll It’s a pigment that is green Carotene And not red like carotene Found in the thylakoid Of the chloroplasts They are special organelles Only found in plant cells They use su-un-light, carbon di-ox-ide a little bit of water--that’s H-2-0 Photosynthesis It makes glucose That’s a monosaccharide C 6 H 12 O 6 provides Finally oxygen Produced as wa-a-aste So now you know All about how plants grow Photosynthesis………….how plants make food. So, what have you learned??? Quiz time… The raw materials for photosynthesis are… • • • • A. oxygen and carbon dioxide B. carbon dioxide and water C. oxygen and water D. sugar and carbon dioxide The chief purpose of the photosynthetic process is considered to be … • A. production of water • B. production of carbon dioxide • C. production of chlorophyll • D. the conversion of light energy to chemical energy Which substances enter a green plant chiefly through its leaves? • A. oxygen and minerals • B. water and minerals • C. water and carbon dioxide • D. carbon dioxide and oxygen Which substances enter a green plant chiefly through its roots? • A. oxygen and minerals • B. water and minerals • C. water and carbon dioxide • D. carbon dioxide and oxygen The conversion of light energy into chemical bond energy can be best carried on by cells which contain… • • • • A. centrioles B. glycogen C. contractile vacuoles D. chlorophyll This is the end of my song So now you know All about how plants grow Photosynthesis………….how plants make food.
