We discussed chemical reactions in our last unit. When producers take water and carbon dioxide to make food using energy from sunlight, they are turning substances into a new substance. This means this is a chemical reaction that occurs in the producers!
We call this chemical reaction photosynthesis!
The chemical reaction of photosynthesis also produces oxygen which helps us humans stay alive!
Fill in each blank in this photosynthesis diagram showing how producers make food
| Stavka koja se može prevući | arrow_right_alt | Odgovarajuća stavka |
|---|---|---|
E | arrow_right_alt | Leaves absorb sunlight |
D | arrow_right_alt | Plant releases oxygen into the atmosphere |
C | arrow_right_alt | Carbon dioxide enters the leaf |
B | arrow_right_alt | Photosynthesis begins glucose is made |
A | arrow_right_alt | Roots absorb water/nutrients |
Photosynthesis: Starting Substances
What Matter do you start with?
6CO2 + 6H2O + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbon dioxide + water + light → glucose (sugar) + oxygen
Chemical Reaction - Process when substances change into different substances
Is this a chemical reaction?
Explain your answer. Use the words substance and molecules in your answer.

Follow the direction to show the amount of matter moving through the ecosystem when there are more plants.
Then, answer the questions below using your model.
Because there were more plants (very healthy), what must have been true about the amount of carbon dioxide and water matter being used by the plants?
Fill in the blanks below.
Because there are more plants, ___________ water matter and _____________ carbon dioxide matter must be getting used.
