Leaf food and energy maker

How does a plant grow

I would like to know

As a human being digests

Does food complain or does it speak in jest

I can only guese

But let biology have a look

To see where is that plant cook

Could he be in the root

No

The stem

Just bark wood is all the same

Its branches

That’s not where it munches

No biology says

What of the leaf

So green, is that a clue?

What does it do

Ah I have found

A healthy mix of sunlight

And carbondioxide stew

That’s right

Sunlight and Co2

Stirring in warm water

What perfect plant with food ingredients

The leaves ith wonderful agents

Green chlorophyll

The Co2 you trap can make a meal

Is it majic or real

Abrakadabra chemistry-labratoisis  Abrakadara

Natural majic

Light and Co2 turn to

Carbondioxide and oxygen

Bonds break and new ones form

Again and again

With some energy for more activity, poof

Heat is released from the soup

Oxygen too escapes in the air

What fun , cooking woo hoo!!

Oh this rare

What an exothermal chemical reaction happening there

How  shall it be served

A little energy food you shall eat cook

That’s a small chunk you took

What of the rest

Oh there it goes, out of the leaf

Through veins it flows

To be served in a dish

Oh you wish says cook

Much better

To be served as fruit

Stored on the branch or root

Wow I say

Leaf cook that’s the way!

Leaf food how delicious

Stored as fruit so precious

More kilojoules of energy stored as carbohydrates

Or protein

To hung at the side of the cooking leaf

The food making leaf AHHH!!

 

Whats the recipe again leaf

Oh food maker

Ace majician

It’s a simple ace reaction

Co2 + H2O + sunlight =chlorophyll= c6h2206 + kj+O2( carbondioxide + energy +oxygen)
