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.
Light energy, carbon dioxide and water must be transported to or obtained by the plantsâ leaves to undertake photosynthesis. Light energy is typically absorbed by the plant in the form of sunlight. Carbon dioxide is procured through the plantsâ stomata, which are tiny pores in the leaves. Water, the third requirement to undertake photosynthesis, is obtained by the plantsâ roots and transferred to the leaves through the plantsâ tissue system. Photosynthesis takes place in two distinct stages, known as light reactions and dark reactions.
