photosynthesis song: []

__photosynthesis__: the process that plants use to make sugar/food. They need:

1. water

2. light

3. carbon dioxide


 * water + light + carbon dioxide = oxygen and glucose (sugar) **

__chlorophyll__: the green substance inside leaves that helps a plant use light energy to make food.
