Define photosynthesis and write it's chemical reaction?
Answers
Answer:
Photosynthesis
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.
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Sunlight energy
Where: CO2 = carbon dioxide
H2O = water
Light energy is required
C6H12O6 = glucose
O2 = oxygen
Answer:
The process of making Glucose molecule in the chlorophyll pigment of green plants in presence of sunlight from water and carbon dioxide is called photosynthesis.
Explanation:
6CO_(2)+ 12H_(2)O (/Chlorophyll) = C_(6) H_(12)_O(6)+ 6O_(2)+6H_(2)O
6 (CARBON DIOXIDE)+ 12 (WATER) -
GLUCOSE+6 (OXYGEN) + 6 (WATER).
