Plants need three things for photosynthesis to occur: water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. How do those things enter a plant? Water, along with important minerals, enters a plant
from the soil where the plant's roots act like straws "drinking" it up, Carbon dioxide enters a
plant from the atmosphere, and it comes in through the leaves. More specifically, carbon
dioxide enters a plant through tiny pores or openings on leaves called stomata. Sunlight,
obviously, comes from the sun. But how does it enter the plant to be converted into
chemical energy that the plant can use? Well, green plants are green because of a pigment
called chlorophyll. That pigment inside of plant cells absorbs the sun's energy, making it
possible for photosynthesis to occur.
Based on the passage, if human cells had a lot of chlorophyll, they would most likely
A
not need to drink water.
B
be green.
U
breathe carbon dioxide.
D
have leaves.
