Answer:
The process by which plants prepare food by using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. The food prepared is carbohydrate which is stored in the form of starch. Oxygen is released in this process
Equation of photosynthesis :
SUNLIGHT
6CO2 + 12H2O------------------ C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2 CHLOROPHYLL
PROCESS OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS
● Photosynthesis takes place in three main
steps. They are :-
● i) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
● ii) Conversion of light energy into chemical
energy and splitting up of water molecules
into hydrogen and oxygen.
●iii) Reduction of carbon dioxide by hydrogen
to form carbohydrates.
