1. Plants do not need food. All living things, including plants,
need food. That’s the life process called nutrition.
2. Plants make their own food. Yes they do! By a process
called photosynthesis!
3. Plant roots absorb food from the soil. No! plants do not
absorb food … they absorb water (+ mineral ions/salts like
magnesium, potassium). Water is one of the ‘raw
materials’ used in food-making or photosynthesis.
4. Plants use their own food made during photosynthesis.
Yes. Plants use the food they make for energy and as raw
materials to make their various body structures.
5. Plants absorb water containing mineral ions/salts from
the soil to make food. Yes they do!
6. Plants need Carbon dioxide from the air to make their
food. Plants use the Carbon from Carbon dioxide to
make sugars.

7. Variegated leaves cannot make food. If this were true
then plants with those kinds of leaves would die! Food is
made in the green parts of variegated leaves.
8. Light is required for photosynthesis. The energy from
light is what is converted to energy in food by plants
9. Oxygen is required for photosynthesis. Oxygen is not
required, rather, it is produced.
10. Plants produce glucose from photosynthesis. Yes this
is the first product.
11. Plants do photosynthesis in the day and respiration at
nights. Whilst photosynthesis needs light to occur,
respiration can occur whether light is present or not – so
respiration occurs both in the day and night.
From the feedback to these questions, think
about how you would define photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis can be summarized as a word equation:
You already know these chemical symbols: water = H2O,
Carbon dioxide = CO2 and Oxygen = O2. Note that glucose =
C6H12O6. How would you re-write the above word equation

What is Photosynthesis?What is Photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants
use water and Carbon dioxide and the energy of light
to produce a carbohydrate e.g. glucose, in which
energy is stored, and during the process they give off
Oxygen.

dioxide. Thanks to photosynthesis, there’s now enough
oxygen to sustain animal life.”
