Question

A. Answer in Detail
1. Describe the process of photosynthesis. Also give its equation.
2. Describe how non-green plants obtain their food.
3. How does a pitcher plant catch insects?
4. Give differences between the following:
(a) Parasites and saprophytes (b) Autotrophs and heterotrophs​

Answer 1

Answer:

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen. The equation depicts the process by which plants and some bacteria produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water using energy from sunlight, as indicated in Jones and Jones' Advanced Biology Textbook (1997).

Answer 2

Answer:

1 - photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organism transform light energy into chemical energy. during photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide and Minerals into Oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

6CO2+6H2O+( energy)=C6H12O6 +6O2

2 - non green plants cannot make their own food because they do not have chlorophyll in their leaves which breaks down carbon dioxide and water molecules do not produce glucose (food) . they cannot make their own food and usually absorb water from other plants , dad animals and style foods
