Green
plants
are
essential
to
all
life
on
Earth.
They
produce
food
and
oxygen
from
simple
molecules
of
water
and
carbon
dioxide.
Water
is
absorbed
through
the
root
hairs,
and
then
passed
up
the
xylem
vessels
to
the
leaves.
Carbon
dioxide
is
absorbed
through
the
stomata
on
the
underside
of
the
leaves.
During
daylight,
light
energy
is
trapped
by
chlorophyll
in
the
chloroplasts.
The
energy
bonds
the
water
to
the
carbon
dioxide,
forming
glucose
sugar
and
oxygen.The
oxygen
is
released,
through
the
stomata,
into
the
atmosphere.
The
glucose
can
by
used
by
the
plant
for
respiration,
or
may
be
stored
as
starch.
This
is
very
obvious
is
plants
like
the
potato.
Some
plants
are
slow
to
convert
glucose
to
starch,
and
they
may
store
lots
of
sugar
-
like
the
sugar
cane
and
sugar
beet
plants.
Animals
use
the
oxygen
released
for
respiration,
and
eat
plants
for
food.
