Facts that could have been written down from the video:

Plant food is different from people food Plants make their own food in a process called photosynthesis Photosynthesis requires the sun Plants collect energy from sunlight and use this energy to make a sugar called glucose Glucose is the main source of nutrition for plants, fueling their cells for function and growth Plants use their roots to get water from the soil Water move from the plants roots to leaves through a transport system called xylem In trees, xylem is the wood Leaves take in carbon dioxide through openings called stomata Palisade and spongy cells contain structures called chloroplasts that are filled with chlorophyll Chlorophyll makes green plants green Chlorophyll traps energy from sunlight, storing it as chemical energy This process splits water into hydrogen and oxygen atoms Glucose is made from the hydrogen and carbon dioxide The glucose dissolves in the plants water where it moves around the plant for use The leaves release oxygen as a waste product Plants are important to animals because they provide oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide. Oxygen is inhaled and carbon dioxide is exhaled back into the air Plants are also important to animials because they eat them
