We Need More Plants
Emily Manton Period 7 (Photosynthesis project)
Plants
We need more plants here on Earth... plants are needed because plants photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is inportant here on Earth. In order to have more oxygen for everybody we need more plants!! In this information it will tell you why we need it, what it makes for us and itself, and other more amazing information. I really hope that one day you will plant a lot of plants and trees for our environment!
Energy Transformation
In photosynthesis the energy transformation is very important. The plants get there energy from the sun which is radiant energy, then the plant will photosynthesis and make glucose which is chemical energy. So the energy transformation is radiant energy to chemical energy.
Photosynthesis
This is a picture of what you need to have for the plant to be able to photosynthesize.
Glucose Equation
This picture is of the equation for glucose you can see that it is made up of many different things.
Inside of a plant.
This picture shows the inside of a plant. The Chloroplast is where photosynthesis is made.
The Process
The process of photosynthesis is very easy, all you need to do is give a plant water, carbon dioxide, and light. Then the plant is all by itself photosynthesizing!! When it is done the products that it made is glucose (its food) and oxygen for us. So plants are very important to us!
Items You Will Need
The items that you need to give to the plant are light (radiant energy), water, and carbon dioxide. You need these for the plant to stay a live and photosynthesize these items are very, very important!! This is what they need to make new products for us and itself.
New Products
In photosynthesis there is always new products. It might take a while but there still will be new things that are made. One thing that photosynthesis makes it glucose. Glucose is a chemical energy, it is the plants food that it makes for itself. One other thing that is really important is that it makes oxygen, for you, me, everybody. This is a reason plants are important to Earth they give out oxygen for everyone. Just for this reason doesn't it make you want to go outside right now and plant new plants and trees? Well it sure does make me want to go!
The Formula
I know what you might be thinking right now. Your asking yourself, "Theres a formula for photosynthesis?" I know you probably did because I asked myself that question also. Well after I read about it and took notes I knew why. Its because you put all these things together and you get photosynthesis. Anyways the formula for it is in the picture down below. The first part of it represents carbon dioxide, then its water. You then add light to that at is makes glucose and oxygen!
What Are Chloroplasts
Chloroplasts are small organelles that are inside the plants cells. Chloroplasts are where photosynthesis first started! Inside the chloroplast is where the plant photosynthesizes, so basically that where it mostly happenes in organisms that are in the plants cells. I think that it is pretty cool that it photosynthesizes inside an organism. If you asked me where it happened before I learned about it, I would say what is a chloroplast? I dont know? But if you asked me today about it I could easily tell you what its pupose is and what it was.
The Most Important Thing
The most important thing of photosynthesis is that the plant gets its energy from the sun. I say this is important because without the sun... We wouldn't be here. The sun is the most important thing here on Earth. Without the sun everything would be dark, no food, no water probably, NOTHING!!!! The sun is the most important thing.
Why Are Plants Important To Animals
Plants are very important to animals, they give a lot of them food. So say that there was a bunny that ate grass and the grass was gone everything green gone. Well then all the bunnies would die and say coyotes ate the bunnies, well the coyotes would die and eventually there would be NO animals left on earth which would make the humans, us, die because we dont have anything to eat. So plants are important to MANY organisms, if plants were gone there would be no animals or people.
Food Chain
Up above is a picture of an owls food chain. As you can the plant is first, this is the same for every food chain the plants are always first!!! So you can see that the insect eats the plant, the mouse eats the insect, and last the owl eats the mouse. Lets say God never made plants so the plant is no longer in the food chain, well if that happened the insect will die. If the insect dies then the mouse dies, if the mouse dies the owl dies, etc. So it is important to have as many plants as we possibly can because if we have a lot and only one section was gone then we still of the others!
