(00:11):
Hey there, it's a lovely Sunny day today.
So I came down for a sun bath.
Don't look at me like that!
Didn't your teachers tell you
that Sunlight is a good source of Vitamin D.
Hey! Don't forget
that we trees and plants make our food from sunlight!

(00:33):
Yes you're right Mr. Tree!
Isn't the process called Photosynthesis?
Yeah.
Come friends, let's learn about Photosynthesis today.
Zoom in!
Doesn't that sound like a big word?

(00:55):
Well, don't be bogged down by it.
I'll tell you what it means
'Photo' is a Greek word for Light
and 'Synthesis' is a Greek word for 'Putting together'.
Now, it's simple!
Photosynthesis is using light to put things together!

(01:18):
Plants use this process to make their food
with the help of sunlight, water and carbon dioxide.
Did you know thatplants breathe just like us?
You didn't? Well, now you do!

(01:38):
Plants have tiny openings called the Stomata,
present in their leaves, through which they take in carbon dioxide.
Yes, they breathe in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen.
They also use water and other nutrients to make food
which is absorbed by their roots.

(02:09):
The leaves contain tiny pigments called the Chloroplasts.
These pigments take in carbon dioxide,
water and sunlight,
and turn them into sugar and oxygen.

(02:30):
The sugar is then used by the plants as their food,
and the oxygen is given out into the atmosphere
This process as a whole is called "Photosynthesis."
Am I right, Mr. Tree?
Yes, you are!

(02:55):
Chlorophyll is a green pigment that is found in the chloroplast of the plant.
It makes the plant look green.
Plants are often known as 'Lungs of the world'
as they take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen,
which the humans breathe!
It's time for some more sun bath.

(03:17):
So this is Zooming out.
Tune in next time for some more fun facts!
