L.OL.07.63Evidence that Plants make, use and
store Food

• Plants use Carbon Dioxide and Water to make
  Glucose -
• Its Photosynthesis

2
Evidence Plants make food

• Plants produce glucose.
• Glucose can be combined into larger molecules of
  carbohydrates and fats.
• Carbohydrates and fats can add minerals from the
  soil to make proteins.
• Animals gain energy and useful material by eating
  plants

3
Evidence Plants make food

• Tests can be done that indicate the presence of
  carbohydrates, fats and proteins like using the
  indicator iodine to detect starch (a
  carbohydrate).

4
Evidence Plants use food

• Plants that start from a seed use the food inside
  the seed to grow roots, stems and leaves.
• The seed coat shrivels and falls off as the food
  is used up.

5
Evidence Plants store food

• Plant structures such as
• seeds, roots, nuts and fruits
• contain nutrients and have
• calories.

6
Evidence Plants store food

• As the plant matures,
• the size of the fruit, nut
• root and/or seed increases
• indicating food storage
• Extra food is stored in the roots, leaves and
  seeds.
