What is the food making process of the plants?

Photosynthesis: ↑ A process by which plants produce food for themselves and other organisms using sunlight and carbon dioxide gas. Chlorophyll: ↑ A chemical molecule present in plants that absorbs the sunlight for photosynthesis.

Which part of the plant prepares food?

Leaves
Leaves produce food for the plant. This process is called photosynthesis.

Where does the process of photosynthesis happen?

In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll. Chloroplasts are surrounded by a double membrane and contain a third inner membrane, called the thylakoid membrane, that forms long folds within the organelle.

Which part of the plant turns to become a fruit?

The fruit is the ripened ovary of a plant containing the seeds. After fertilization, the ovary swells and becomes either fleshy or hard and dry to protect the developing seeds.

Which part of a plant can grow into a new plant?

Seeds and fruit Seeds are what a plant uses to spread new plants into new places. Each seed contains a tiny plant called an embryo, which has root, stem and leaf parts ready to grow into a new plant when conditions are right.

Where does photosynthesis occur in chloroplast?

Photosynthesis: The Basics Photosynthesis takes place inside the chloroplasts that sit in the mesophyll of the leaves. The thylakoids sit inside the chloroplast and they contain chlorophyll which absorbs the different colours of the light spectrum to create energy (Source: Biology: LibreTexts).

How and where do plants store food?

Plants store their food in the form of starch in various parts of them. Starch is a polysaccharide of glucose monomers. Glucose residues are linked by glycosidic bonds. This starch can be stored in the leaves, stems, roots, flowers, fruits, and seeds of a plant.

What is produced by the plant and where does it go?

Thus, during photosynthesis a plant consumes water, carbon dioxide, and light energy, and produces glucose and oxygen. Thus, the final result of cellular respiration is that the plant consumes glucose and oxygen and produces carbon dioxide, water, and ATP energy molecules.

Which part of plant develops into seed?

ovary
Once pollen gets to the ovary within the flower, the ovary develops into a fruit. The ovules inside the ovary develop into seeds inside of this fruit.
