Biology Yr 8

Plants use photosynthesis to produce food from carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. They release oxygen as a byproduct. Leaves contain chloroplasts and chlorophyll which allow photosynthesis to occur. Roots absorb water and minerals from the soil to transport to the leaves. The long hollow vessels that transport water and minerals from roots to leaves are called xylem. Nutrients provide energy or are used to make new cells. The digestive system breaks down nutrients so they can be absorbed and used by the body. The circulatory system transports oxygen, nutrients, hormones and waste throughout the body via blood and blood vessels.
