In our lesson today, we have learned about the process of photosynthesis. On a sheet of paper write the process of photosynthesis. Carbon dioxide and oxygen. Today, we will study the process that takes these gases and produces energy in plants. This process is called respiration.
Plants store some of their sugar they made during photosynthesis to give their own cells energy.
They need this energy to live. The oxygen slowly combines with the sugar in the cells of the plant to produce the plant's energy. Carbon dioxide and water are given off as waste products. This process is called respiration. The plants use this energy from respiration to carry on life's activities.
