Question

Describe the mode of nutrition in photosynthetic organism by an equation

Answer 1

The mode of nutrition in photosynthetic animals is referred to as autotrophic nutrition. This is type of nutrition where green plants make their own food through the process of photosynthesis. The product of photosynthesis is a simple sugar(glucose) that can be used for respiration by the plant cells or is stored as starch for later use.
The equation of photosynthesis is as follows:

6CO2 +  6H2O  +light (energy)------> C6H12O6 (glucose) + 6O2

The glucose is the utilized in the process of respiration by the plant cells to produce the energy stored in the glucose. The equation for respiration is as follows:


C6H12O6 + 6O2 -------> 6CO2 + 6H2O + energy
