⭕️Photosynthesis
➖photo = light
➖synthesis = to make

⭕️The raw materials are carbon dioxide and water.

⭕️The energy source is sunlight, and the end-products are glucose and oxygen.

⭕️The process by which plants make their own food using chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight is known as photosynthesis.

⭕️Chlorophyll is a green pigment present in the leaves of plants.

⭕️ This pigment captures the sun’s energy, which is used to prepare food from carbon dioxide and water.

⭕️The equation for photosynthesis is:-

★ \huge\textbf{Photosynthesis :}
==================================

It is the natural process by which green plants and some other organisms prepare their food (Glucose). It occurs in Chloroplast. 

\textbf{Equation :}

6CO2 + 6H2O -----› C6H12O6 + 6O2
===================================

★ \textbf{Raw Materials :}

Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and Water (H2O) are the raw material of Photosynthesis. 

Sunlight is need for the Photosynthesis. 

Glucose (C6H12O6), Water (H2O) Oxygen (O2) are the products of Photosynthesis.
==================================

★ \textbf{Mechanism of Photosynthesis :}

→ Light energy is converted into Chemical Energy and the Water moleculesplits into Hydrogen and Oxygen.

→ Light energy of sun is absorbed by Chlorophyll.

→ Carbon-dioxide is reduced to form Glucose. And Oxygen is released into the atmosphere.
==================================

★ \textbf{Importance of Photosynthesis :}

Photosynthesis is important because it produces oxygen as a bi-product which is necessary for living.

Also food is made by the help of this process (Photosynthesis) which is also important for living.
