Question

define photosynthesis

Answer 1

" Photosynthesis "

It is the process by which green plant and some other organism use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

The main product form here is glucose and by products are oxygen and water.

Here it takes place in chlorophyll and I'm presence of sunlight.

There are two stages of photosynthesis :

1. Light reactions :

It occurs in the grana where photon are absorbed so as to excite electrons of chlorophyll to a higher energy level. These activated elctrons are harnessed to form ATP from the ADP and reduce NADP to NADPH. Wayer ia also spotted here and oxygen is released.

2. Dark reactions :

Calvin cycle occurring in chlorophyll here carbon combine with 5-carbon sugar called ribulose biphospahte. This unstable compound breaks down into 3-carbon compound. This then forms glucose.

Answer 2

• Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in green plants and other organisms.
• Light energy is collected and utilized by green plants to transform water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic molecules during photosynthesis.
• Photosynthesis is expressed as
• 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2.
• This signifies that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are transformed into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules.
• The products, by light energy collected by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow).
