7. Why do we say the oxygen and carbon dioxide are in acycle? KEY CONCEPTS • Plants produce their own food (glucose) by a process called photosynthesis. • Photosynthesis takes place mainly in the leaves. • During photosynthesis the plant uses chlorophyll, sunlight energy, carbon dioxide (from the atmosphere) and water to make glucose. • Plants change some of the glucose (sugar) into starch which they store in their leaves, stems and roots, flowers, fruits and seeds. • Animals take in oxygen from the air and produce carbon dioxide when they breathe. • Plants recycle carbon dioxide and make oxygen during the process of photosynthesis. 18 Life and Living
