How it works
Photosynthesis in bubble letters on one sideways sheet in Fredoka. Fourteen letters on one line print small, so the page has two ways to print the word bigger.

Two ways to print it bigger
After your first print, open Photosynthesis words in bubble letters. Photo- / synthesis breaks the word at a hyphen onto two lines and prints it about 1.6 times as tall on the same sheet. For a banner, One letter per page under More options makes fourteen upright sheets, three of them an s.
Words for the rest of the poster
Photosynthesis turns Light / Energy, usually Sunlight, into Chemical / Energy. The Reactants are Carbon / Dioxide and Water; the Products are oxygen and a Carbohydrate: a Sugar such as Glucose, or Starch. In a chloroplast each Thylakoid is a flattened disk in a fluid called the Stroma. Algae and Cyanobacteria photosynthesize too. Stomata, Carbon / Fixation and Light-Dependent / Reactions have sheets as well.
- Fredoka keeps the P and both o's white and closes the e; with Look set to Outline all four holes stay white.
- Oxygen, the other product, is a ready word on the periodic table page.
Questions and answers
How do you draw photosynthesis in bubble letters?
Pencil the fourteen letters small, or Photo- over synthesis. Round every stroke into a fat outline, keep the loops of the P and both o's open and a slit in the e, then rub out the pencil and color.
How do you spell photosynthesis?
P-h-o-t-o-s-y-n-t-h-e-s-i-s: photo, then synthesis, written as one word with no hyphen. The y follows the first s, and the word has three s's and two h's.
What does the word photosynthesis mean?
It joins photo- and synthesis: the Greek phos, light, and synthesis, arranging together. Plants, algae and cyanobacteria use light to build carbohydrates out of carbon dioxide and water.
Why are leaves green?
Because of chlorophyll, the pigment that absorbs light for photosynthesis. It takes in the red and blue parts of light and reflects green. Its name is Greek: khloros, pale green, and phyllon, leaf.
What are stomata?
Pores in the skin of a leaf that control how fast gases pass between the leaf and the air. One is a stoma, from the Greek for mouth. In hot, dry conditions plants close them to keep water in.
