The raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf. Water enters the root and is transported up to the leaves through specialized plant cells known as xylem vessels.
Carbon is present in the atmosphere in the form of a gas called carbon dioxide. During photosynthesis, plants use carbon dioxide from air and water molecules alongside the sun's rays to produce energy in the form of glucose. This takes place in the leaves, but is also a process adopted by algae and phytoplankton.
