Photosynthesis


WAL about how plants grow and what they need to grow



My explanation of how Photosynthesis works:
To make a plant grow you need carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through stomata (tiny holes)in the leaves.
The plant also needs some water and sunlight,  which makes sugar and helps the plant grow.
