Photosynthesis The Poem
I stand as a plant.
But what do I need?
I cannot make a sandwich
to feed.
But lucky for me
I have Photosynthesis, you see!
I take the Carbon Dioxide
And some water too
Altogether, I have Glucose for food
This gives me ATP energy
Which I need to survive
And so I do not come to my demise
But this also makes oxygen
Which I do not need
So I give it to humans so they can breathe.
Cellular Respiration is what they use
a little bit of oxygen
glucose tagging along too
they produce water and CO2
the mitochondria capture the energy
and use it
to power you so you can make tea!
My superpower may seem unreal
but it's not I promise
as crazy as it may feel.
My leaves grow big and strong
To reach out and soak up sunlight
that's far beyond.
I have organelles in my cells
that humans do not
They're called Chloroplasts just like you thought!
And they give me food like the chips you bought.
Chloroplasts take the suns light
And use it to make me food
like the glucose I eat every night!
Please don't laugh, I tried my hardest lol
Do whatever you'd like with it, take snippets of it or don't use it at all but either way I hope it helps a little!
