process these elements are digested
and turned into organic matter, which are then sent to the stem
above the ground, while any excess is stored in the roots. At
the same time, green plants and leaves have a material called
chlorophyll. The carbon-dioxide that is taken from the air through
the air passages of green plants and leaves, along with the water
that is carried through the roots are brought together by the
chlorophyll and the sun, resulting in photosynthesis, which produces
glucose, oxygen and water. The water and oxygen are expelled,
while the glucose combines with other elements, creating carbohydrates.

where it travels on to the small intestine Saliva glands in the

are sent on to the final section of the large intestine.
....The digestive system, which starts
from the mouth and continues to the intestines, is an automatic
