When we look at a plant, we notice that the leaves are green. This is due to the (a)   in the leaves that allows the plant to absorb sunlight. Plants use the light energy in a reaction called (b)   where they make food in the form of sugar and produce oxygen. (c)   , which are only found in plant cells, is where the food-making reaction takes place. In this reaction: water, carbon dioxide, and energy from the sun are needed for the reaction and are called (d)   . The things that are formed in the reaction, or the (e)   , are sugar and oxygen.
