P l a n Photosynthesis is the chemical process, which takes place in every green plant to produce food in the form of glucose. Plants use water and carbon molecules and the suns energy to join together to form glucose, which is sent around the plant to provide food. Cells in the root or stem can use the glucose to make energy, if the plant does not need to use all the glucose immediately then it is stored which is difficult because glucose is hard to store in water. Plants have adapted with this problem by joining hundreds of glucose molecules together to make a starch compound. Starch does not dissolve in water very well so it makes a better food store.
