| photosynthesis | food making process that uses sunlight |
| Chlorophyll | chemical pigment needed for photosynthesis |
| Chloroplast | specialized plant cells where photosynthesis takes place. |
| epidermis | outer protective layer of the leaf(just like the outer protective layer of our skin) |
| stomata | tiny openings in the epidermis of the leaf that allows carbon dioxide in allows oxygen and water vapor out. |
| guard cells | specialized cells that control the opening and closing of the stomata |
| xylem | tubes that carry water and nutrients up from the roots to the rest of the plant |
| phloem | tubes that carry water and sugar down from the leaves and flowers to the rest of the plant |
| veins | bundle of tubes that contain the xylem and phloem in a leaf. |
| Photosynthesis Chemical equation | Carbon Dioxide + water + Sunlight = Sugar (glucose) + Oxygen |
