Plants are living beings. They need food,
water and air for survival. (General Classification)
Plants derive their food from the earth and
the air. If you look at their roots, you will find that ends of these roots are
like fine fibers. We call them root-hairs. They absorb water and minerals, then
transport them upwards to the leaves through the trunk and the branches. It is
the leaves which prepare the food. (Description)
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 photosynthes. 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 excreted by the leaves. (Description)
