Question

photosynthesis flow chart
carbon dioxide from the air enters the plant through the leaves.
enters the leaves of the plant
water from the ground enters the plant through the roots

Explanation:

To complete the photosynthesis flow chart, we follow the process of photosynthesis:

Step 1: After water enters roots

Water and carbon dioxide are transported to the chloroplasts (in leaves) for the reaction.
Next box (after “Water from the ground…”): Water and carbon dioxide are transported to the chloroplasts

Step 2: Light energy absorption

Chloroplasts (with chlorophyll) absorb light energy.
Next box: Chloroplasts absorb light energy

Step 3: Photosynthesis reaction

Carbon dioxide + water $\xrightarrow{\text{light energy}}$ glucose + oxygen (in chloroplasts).
Next box: Photosynthesis occurs: $\boldsymbol{\ce{6CO2 + 6H2O ->[\text{light}] C6H12O6 + 6O2}}$

Step 4: Glucose production

Glucose (food) is produced for the plant.
Next box: Glucose (food) is produced

Step 5: Oxygen release

Oxygen is released into the air (byproduct of photosynthesis).
Final box: Oxygen is released into the air

(Note: Adjust wording to match typical educational flow charts, focusing on key steps: reactants (CO₂, H₂O) → chloroplasts/light → reaction → products (glucose, O₂).)
