Answers
Explanation:
The reaction that takes place in the process of photosynthesis can be written as:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2
Carbohydrate which is produced in the process of photosynthesis is ultimately converted into starch and stored in leaves. From leaves it is transported to different parts of a plant. Starch is a type of carbohydrate. The oxygen so produced is released into atmosphere through the stomata.
Leaves are known as the kitchen or food factories of the plants because photosynthesis takes place in leaves. Leaves look green because of the presence of chlorophyll.
Besides leaves, photosynthesis also takes place in other green parts of the plant also, such as in green stems. Chlorophyll is necessary for photosynthesis; hence photosynthesis takes place only in green plants.
The leaves of plants that grow in desert areas are modified in spine like structure or scales to reduce the loss of water in the course of transpiration. In such plants photosynthesis takes place in green stems. Stem is modified into thick spongy leaf-like structures in such plants.
Photosynthesis helps to maintain a balance between oxygen and carbon dioxide in the atmosphere as it absorbs carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
Sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis. Thus sun is the ultimate source of energy for all living organism.
Our earth is the unique planet, where photosynthesis takes place. In the absence of photosynthesis life would not be possible on earth.
Following are necessary for photosynthesis to be taken place:
Presence of sunlight
Presence of Chlorophyll
Presence of Water
Presence of carbon-dioxide
Explanation:
because during the photosynthesis we get oxygen . If absence of photosynthesis we can't live on the earth
