Problem Explanation:
The task is to complete a paragraph about photosynthesis using the words provided in the word box. The diagram illustrates the process of photosynthesis, showing how sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water are used by plants to produce glucose and oxygen.
Word Box:
- Oxygen
- Sunlight
- Glucose
- Photosynthesis
- Chloroplast
- Water
- Chlorophyll
- Carbon dioxide
Paragraph to Complete:
```
__________ is the process by which plants produce their own food in the presence of __________, __________, and __________. Photosynthesis occurs in the organelle called __________ that's only found in plants. Plants contain a green pigment called __________ that absorbs sunlight. Energy from the sun, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and water absorbed by the roots react to produce __________ that plants need to survive. __________ is a gas that is released into the environment for animals and humans to breathe.
```
Solution:

-
Answer: Sunlight, Water, Carbon dioxide (in any order)
3.
Fifth Blank: Photosynthesis occurs in the organelle called
Chloroplast.
-
Answer: Chloroplast
4.
Sixth Blank: Plants use a green pigment called
Chlorophyll to absorb sunlight.
-
Answer: Chlorophyll
5.
Seventh Blank: The product of photosynthesis that plants need to survive is
Glucose.
-
Answer: Glucose
6.
Eighth Blank: The gas released into the environment during photosynthesis is
Oxygen.
-
Answer: Oxygen
