Question

Define Photosynthesis​

Answer 1

Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms 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.

Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis and, correspondingly, carbon dioxide the byproduct of respiration.

The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants take in carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of chlorophyll by using sunlight to make their own food, is called as photosynthesis. Oxygen is released as a by product.

$\sf 12H_2O + 6CO_2 \underset{chlorophyll}{\xrightarrow{Sunlight}} C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6H_2O + 6O_2 \uparrow$
