Question

1. Define Photosynthesis. Write the equation representing this process.
2. Why do farmers plant leguminous crops in between two main crops?

Answer 1

Answer:

The photosynthesis equation is as follows:

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light

produces glucose and oxygen.

Answer 2

Explanation:

1. Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy in the presence of water and carbon dioxide with the the help of chlorophyll that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities. 

Photosynthesis equation: The photosynthesis equation is as follows: 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen.

2. Leguminous plants have rhizobium bacteria in their root nodules. they convert atmospheric nitrogen into soluble nitrogen compounds which can be used by plants. so farmers grow leguminous plants between two main crops to enrich the soil withnitrogen and to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers.
