Investigate the main activities of living organisms.
Food is produced primarily in the green plants by a process called photosynthesis. There are four main factors needed for photosynthesis.
• Sun light
• Chlorophyll
• Carbondioxide
• Water
The main product of photosynthesis is glucose. The byproduct is oxygen.
Carbondioxide + Water + (Sun light + Chlorophyll)
> Glucose + Oxygen
Glucose is converted temporarily to starch and stored in chloroplasts. At night the starch is converted to a sucrose solution and transported to all other tissues of the plant.
