- Chlorophyll traps solar energy, which is used to prepare food from CO2 and water. Sun is the ultimate source of energy.
- Green plants absorb CO2 from atmosphere through tiny pores called stomata.
- Stomata are present on the surface of leaves.
- Water and minerals are absorbed from soil and are transported to leaves via tiny vessel-like structures present in roots.
- Chlorophyll, sunlight, CO2, and water are essential raw materials for photosynthesis.
- Carbohydrates such as starch an…
