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.
Green plants use carbon dioxide during photosynthesis, in which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose (which gives the plant energy) and oxygen. Plants are known as carbon sinks because they absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and âfixâ or hold onto carbon in the form of glucose within their tissues.
