To show how green plants need sunlight, we will cover a few leaves on a green plant. We will leave these for about one week. We will observe the color and condition of the covered leaves. You will record observations. The sunlight is trapped there.
Water is carried to the leaves by the veins.
The sun's light is changed into starch or sugar. This sugar is carried to the rest of the plant by the veins. When the energy is produced the plant is able to give off oxygen used by all living things. This process enables plants to produce their own food. Fungi are organisms like mushrooms and molds that are not green.
