HOW DOES IT WORK?
The chloropyll uses the light energy to bond the carbon dioxide and the water together to create glucose. The glucose will be used to release energy in plants.
The glucose left will be stored in plants in the form of starch.

FEATURES OF A LEAF
PALISADE MESOPHYLL: LOCATED AT THE TOP LAYER OF THE LEAF IN ORDER TO GET AS MUCH SUNLIGHT AS POSSIBLE, WITH A LOT OF CHLOROPLASTS FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS.
STOMATA IS USED FOR DIFFUSION OF CARBON DIOXIDE.
IT HAS TWO GUARD CELLS TO BE FILLED WITH WATER AND CLOSE TO ALLOW CO2 TO COME IN
XYLEM VESSELS ARE THERE TO TRANSPORT WATER TO THE LEAF.
PHLOEM VESSELS TO TRANSPORT THE PRODUCTS TO ALL OF THE PARTS OF THE PLANT.
SPONGY MESOPHYLL LAYER IS USED FOR THE DIFFUSION OF CARBON DIOXIDE, WITH CHLOROPLASTS FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS

IONS FOR PLANT GROWTH.
MAGNESIUM: MAKE CHLOROPHYLL, IF DEFICIENCY: LEAF WILL BE YELLOW / OTHER COLORS AND STUNTED GROWTH AS THERE IS NO PHOTOSYNTHESIS HAPPENING.
NITRATE: BONDS WITH GLUCOSE TO CREATE AMINO ACIDS TO FORM PROTEINS TO GROW NEW LEAVES + NEW BIOMASS. IF DEFICIENCY -> STUNTED GROWTH AND YELLOW LEAVES.
