explain the mechanism of photosynthesis
Answers
Explanation:
Hey friend
photosynthesis is the process in which plants and some microorganisms prepare their own food with the help of chlorophyll,water, sunlight and carbon dioxide
water is absorbed by the roots of the plant and chlorophyll which is a green pigment present in green parts of the plants absorb sunlight and stomata small pores present in the leaves surface take carbon dioxide
nitrogen is provided to the plant by fertilisers and organic matter
now food is prepared in the leaves of the plant ATP AND oxygen are the by products
Explanation:
In the mechanism of the phtosynthesis there occurs the usage as well as production of two energy molecules.
1)ATP (adenosine triphosphate).
2)NADPH ( nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate).
When the absorption of water occurs through osmosis. The accumulation of water occurs in its constituent elements oxygen ion and hydrogen
ion. The hydrogen ions occurs the procedure and this accumulation of water is done when sunlight is absorbed by the chlorophyll of the leaves in plant if there is no sunlight no accumulation of water occurs and the process remains unfinished. There also occurs the accumulation of carbon dioxide absorbed by the stomata of the leaves but that doesn't require any sunlight. The carbon dioxide breaks into carbon and oxygen. The carbon goes under the procedure of forming glucose with some oxygen. Later after the procedure the excess of oxygen is released and the excess glucose is stored in the leaves in form of starch and when it is night time it is converted back into the glucose again.
sunlight
H2O + CO2 -----------------> C6H12O6 + O2
chlorophyll
Or, sunlight
Water + Carbon dioxide-----------------> Glucose + oxygen
