Photosynthesis is the process green plants use to make their own food from light. Inside the leaf, a green pigment called chlorophyll captures sunlight in tiny structures known as chloroplasts. The plant takes in carbon dioxide through pores called stomata and draws up water through its roots. Using that energy, it builds sugar in the form of glucose and releases oxygen. This puzzle gathers eleven words from the process.
