What do the roots do?

Cut the tip off a carrot. Place the carrot in a cup of water containing red food coloring. Place the carrot in an area where it receives sunlight. After several days, remove the carrot. Place it on a cutting board and cut it from top to bottom. Observe the flow of red dye up the root system.

The flower is the part of the plant that is responsible for reproducing other flowers.

Bees, butterflies, and other insects go from flower to flower carrying pollen. When the pollen meets the egg of the plant, a new plant is formed.

The Flower

Click the butterfly for more on pollination.

The leaf of the plant makes the food. Sun + Water + Carbon Dioxide = Sugar + Oxygen

The Leaf

CO2

O2

Sugar/glucose
