McMaster University. McMaster University (commonly referred to as McMaster or Mac) is a public research university located in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada.

Plants make food in their leaves. The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colors the leaves green. Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.
Ground tissues in leaves contain many chloroplasts, which are important in photosynthesis. Ground tissue in stems and roots functions mainly in the storage of water, sugar, and starch. In nonwoody parts or plants, ground tissue surrounds and supports vascular tissue. î î î.
