Question

(a) Define 'Photosynthesis'. Apart from sunlight, what other conditions are necessary for the process of photosynthesis.
(b) Describe an experiment to show that sunlight is essential for photosynthesis"."

Answer 1

Explanation:

the process by which green plants turn carbon dioxide and water into food using energy from sunlight

The chemical energy produced during photosynthesis process is glucose. It is used to carry out all cellular activities. Moreover, oxygen is released as a by-product of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis definition states that the process exclusively takes place in the chloroplasts through photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene and xanthophyll. All green plants and a few other autotrophic organisms utilize photosynthesis to synthesize nutrients by using carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. The by-product of photosynthesis process is oxygen.

Answer 2

Answer:

photosynthesis is a process in which plants trap the solar energy and convert it into chemical energy and make their food by cholorophyll
