1. Carbon Dioxide (CO2): Plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air through tiny pores on their leaves called stomata. This carbon is the building block for sugars and other organic compounds.
2. Water (H2O): Plants absorb water from the soil through their roots. Water is essential for transporting nutrients and for the chemical reactions of photosynthesis.
3. Sunlight: Plants capture the energy from sunlight using a green pigment called chlorophyll. This energy powers the chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars.
