Question

Define photosynthesis?​

Answer 1

QUESTION:-

DEFINE PHOTOSYNTHESIS:-

ANSWER:-

The process of making food by Green plants (autotroph) is called photosynthesis. For performing photosynthesis water, sunlight and carbon dioxide are used by the plants.

They take sunlight from sun, water from soil and carbon dioxide gas from the air present around us. The leaves have small holes called stomata which allows air to enter the plant. Leaves also contains chlorophyll in them which traps sunlight and helps in making food. Roots of plants absorbs water and Minerals from the soil and transfers them leaves through stem.

The chemical equation for the photosynthesis

is -

carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen + energy

Answer 2

Answr

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's activities.

• This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars and starches, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek phōs "light", and sunthesis, "putting together"
