Plants acquire the raw materials for photosynthesis from the environment. They obtain carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through tiny pores on their leaves called stomata. Water (H2O) is absorbed from the soil by their roots and then transported to the leaves for photosynthesis. Sunlight is the energy source and is absorbed by chlorophyll and other green pigments in the plant’s leaves.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Carbon dioxide:
Plants take in carbon dioxide from the air through the stomata, which are small openings on the surfaces of leaves.
Water:
Plants absorb water from the soil using their roots, and then the water is transported to the leaves through the plant’s vascular system.
Sunlight:
Sunlight provides the energy needed for photosynthesis. Plants use chlorophyll, a green pigment, to capture the light energy from sunlight.
