Have you ever wondered what it would be like if we didn't have plants? without you plants you wouldn't be here right now because plants are crucial to our survival. Plants are designed to perform photosynthesis. There are different types of plants cells too and they help with the process of photosynthesis. Finally fish are just one of the many species that depend on plants. =toc= = How is a Plant Cell Designed to Performn Photosynthesis ? =

= = Photosynthesis is a process in which plants make their own food, using the sun’s energy. In stage one of photosyǹthisis chloroplast in plant cells capture energy from sunlight.The second the captured light energy is used to produce sugars and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide.

The plant cell uses something called the the chloroplast which are too small organelles to capture the energy from the sunlite. The energy from the sunlight is used to produce food. The vacuole stores the food for the plant cell so the plant can eat the food whenever it wants. This is why the vacuole on a plant cell is bigger than an animal vacuole. Plants use their leaves to make food and oxygen. Scitable Education said “Photosynthetic cells contain special pigments that absorb light energy. In plants, photosynthesis takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the chlorophyll

= Different Types of Plant Cells and Their Function =

Plants have many different types of cells and they all do different things. Some of the plant cells are the chloroplast, cell membrane, vacuole,mitochondria,golgi body,cell wall etc. These are just some of the important cells that make a plant cell. The chloroplast makes food using photosynthesis and the cell membrane controls the cell. The wall that protects and holds all the cells together is the cell wall.

= How can Plants Help Fish? =

Adding live plants in your aquarium helps recreate a natural ecosystem, and may be one of the most beneficial ways to keep your fish healthy. plants can help your fish in more than one way, They give the plants oxygen and the can keep your fish healthier. The plants take in carbon dioxide and the put out oxygen. The plants are a more beneficial, cheaper, and better looking way of adding oxygen to your tank. The are alternatives like adding a bubble machine but they're more expensive they don't take in carbon dioxide and the tank always looks like it's full of bubbles.This natural filtration helps restore balance to the aquarium environment by processing excess nutrients. The result is a cleaner, clearer, and healthier aquarium.

= Plant Making Oxygen Under water. = = Conclusion =

Photosynthesis is an essential part of our life and it keeps plants alive. photosynthesis creates food for the plant and oxygen for animals. and plants keep us alive. Plant cells also have many functions and other cells to keep them alive and healthy. Finally there are different types of plants like aquatic and land plants. Aquatic plants can keep the fish healthy and keep the bacteria level lower. Plants are one of the most crucial things to our survival keeping animals and other plants alive.
