Answer:

Plants use their leaves to make food. ... During photosynthesis, plant leaves take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Using the energy from sunlight, this is combined with water drawn up from the roots to make glucose. Oxygen is also produced in this chemical reaction and exits the leaves into the surrounding air

Answer :

Plants use their leaves to make food. ... During photosynthesis, plant leaves take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Using the energy from sunlight, this is combined with water drawn up from the roots to make glucose. Oxygen is also produced in this chemical reaction and exits the leaves into the surrounding air .

Explanation :

Role Of Leaves In Photosynthesis :

During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose. Glucose is used by plants for energy and to make other substances like cellulose and starch .

Photosynthesis primarily happens in green leaves (not colorful autumn leaves). ... Leaf cells are full of organelles called chloroplasts, which contain chlorophyll, a pigment that absorbs light. (Chlorophyll absorbs all the red and blue wavelengths of light, but it reflects green wavelengths, making the leaf look green .

Role Of Roots In Photosynthesis :

For photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide enters through tiny holes in a plant's leaves, flowers, branches, stems, and roots. ... For most plants, roots are responsible for absorbing water. The last requirement for photosynthesis is an important one because it provides the energy to make sugar .

Root, in botany, that part of a vascular plant normally underground. Its primary functions are anchorage of the plant, absorption of water and dissolved minerals and conduction of these to the stem, and storage of reserve foods .

Hope it was helpful .

Thanks
