Question

(b) Explain the process of production of
food in plants​

Answer 1

Answer:

Plants make food in their leaves. The leaves contain a pigment called chlorophyll, which colors the leaves green. Chlorophyll can make food the plant can use from carbon dioxide, water, nutrients, and energy from sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis.

Answer 2

Answer:

The process of making of food by green plants in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll is known as photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the combination of two words- Photo + Synthesis. ‘Photo’ means light and ‘Synthesis’ means to make.

Plants make food by a process known as photosynthesis. As the name suggests, photo or light energy is used in this process of synthesis. Plants use three ingredients: sun light, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) to make food (sugars). The following takes place during photosynthesis:

6CO_2 + 6H_2O + (light) -> C_6H_(12)O_6 + 6)_2

Another useful product (apart from sugar) is the oxygen, which maintains the oxygen concentration in our atmosphere and enables life sustenance on this planet. The process also removes excess carbon dioxide from our atmosphere, again helping our survival. Photosynthesis is opposite of our respiration. We consume oxygen, break down sugar and generate carbon dioxide; plants consume carbon dioxide and generate oxygen and food. We are thus dependent on photosynthesis for our survival.

Note that photosynthesis takes place in plants containing chlorophyll.
