Question

a. Plants synthesize glucose in sunlight with
the help of chlorophyll from carbon
dioxide and water and give away oxygen.
Identify the four compounds in this
process and name their types.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Photosynthesis is a chemical process through which plants, some bacteria, and algae, produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using only light as a source of energy, which is absorbed by chlorophyll.

6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2

Four substances in this process are as follows:

1.Carbon dioxide = organic compound

2.Water = organic compound

3.Glucose = organic compound

4.Chlorophyll = organo-metallic compound or complex compound
