Plants
Plants are living beings. They need food, water and air for survival.
Plants derive their food from the earth and the air. If you look at their roots, you will
find that the ends of these roots are like fine fibers. We call them root-hairs. They absorb
water and minerals, then transport them upwarda to the leaves through the trunk and branches.
It is the leaves which prepare the food.
The green material, chlorophyll, prepares the food like a machine. It converts the
carbon dioxide taken from the air and water from the ground into sugar with the help of
sunlight. This chemical reaction is called photosynthesis. In fact, the chlorophyll takes energy
from the sunlight and uses it to synthesize the hydrogen from water and carbon from carbon
dioxide for making sugar. This reaction also gives out oxygen and water which are excereted
by the leaves.
