Leaf Cell 
Plant cells in the upper surface of the leaves have chloroplasts which 
contain the green pigment called chlorophyll 
 
Plants make their own food by the process of “Photosynthesis” 
*Word Equation For “Photosynthesis”: 
​Light energy 
- Carbon Dioxide + Water ---------> Glucose + Oxygen
C
​ hlorophyll

Why Plants Need Water? 

 
● Water of support: Plant cells contain lot of water especially 
inside their vacuole
...
 
● Wood in tree trunk are made 
up of xylem vessels and are 
connected to the very tip of 
the branches and continue 
into the leaf
