describe the mechanism of photosynthesis please
Answers
Answer:
The process of photosynthesis is considered as an oxidation-reduction reaction activated by light absorbed by chlorophyll or certain other substances (e.g., phycocyanin, fucoxanthol), resulting in the evolution of oxygen from water and in the formation of reduced carbon compounds (e.g., carbohydrate)
Answer:
The process by which green plants make their own food in presence of sunlight, chlorophyll and water is known as photosynthesis. Chlorophyll the green coloured pigment present in plant is responsible for performing photosynthesis because it has the ability to absorb sunlight and convert it into food.The three main steps of Mechanism of photosynthesis are :
1.trapping of sunlight by chlorophyll.
2.conversion of light energy into chemical energy and spliting water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.
3.reduction of carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates.
