Once upon a time in a far, far away 

land...

...there was two flowers named Florence and Petunia. 

Florence was in Advanced Plantology at his school, the 

Accelerated School for Plants and Trees and his teacher, 

Ms. Petunia announced there was going to be a field trip! 

They were going to learn about Photosynthesis and Cellular 

Respiration! A lot of the class was not excited about the 

trip but Florence was! He was all ready to go. He hurried 

home and got his permission form signed to take it back 

the next day.

The group of two were ready to take their adventure!

Florence and Petunia boarded the Aprilflower and 

was on their way to Biology Island where they plan 

to begin their trip.

They finally reached their destination! Florence began 

asking all of his questions, "How do we get our food?", 

"how does this work?", "why does that work?", "what is 

this?" Ms. Petunia said, "Woah, calm down there. One 

thing at a time. Let's start with how we get our food 

shall we?" They stopped walking and Ms. Petunia began 

explaining, "So our food, that's an interesting topic. Us 

plants use a process called photosynthesis to capture 

energy from the sun to make sugars!" "Sugars?" 

Florence replied with confusion. "Yes Florence, sugars. 

I'll explain."

Florence and Ms. Petunia began walking down the path. When 

they arrived at a break stop, they decided to stop and look 

around and admire the atmosphere. "Ms. Petunia!!!!" exclaimed 

Florence. "These.... these are the light reactions we touched 

on! What do they do though?" Ms. Petunia told Florence that 

the light reactions capture energy from sunlight and so water 

is processed and broken down while oxygen (or air) is 

released. "But...... what about the 'dark reactions'?" "Well 

Florence, the dark reactions are reactions that use energy 

from the light reactions to make those surgars we were 

talking about." "Oooohhhhh" said Florence.

Where are we now?" asked Florence. "We are in the 

Knowledge Jungles!" replied Ms. Petunia. "Now that we talked 

about photosynthesis, it's time to go across the chemical 

equation to the cellular respiration side!"

"Let's do it!" exclaimed Florence.

"Alrighty! Cellular respiration releases chemical energy from 

sugars and other molecules to make a compound called 

Adenosine Triphosphate or ATP. Come on, I'll show you 

more!"
