explain the process of photosynthesis.(detailed answer , 100 -120words)
Answers
Carbon dioxide + water -----(sunlight)-----> oxygen + glucose
During the process of photosynthesis, carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil is converted into oxygen and glucose.
Glucose is a sugar that can be used by the plant for respiration or converted into insoluble starch for storage.
Oxygen is a by-product of photosynthesis. Light provides the energy for photosynthesis to take place.
Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, which is found in the chloroplasts of some plant cells.
The rate of photosynthesis will be limited by shortage of carbon dioxide, low temperatures or lack of light.
The process of making food with the help of sun wind and soil is called photosynthesis.The word photo means light and the word synthesis means to build. thus it means building up by light. The leaves if the plant are green because they contain tiny green clouded bodies called chloroplasts which contains chlorophyll. The chlorophyll uses the energy of sunlight to prepare food from carbon dioxide and water. The process of photosynthesis can be represented by a equation
carbon dioxide + water by sunlight and chlorophyll gives glucose + oxygen
the food prepared by the green leaves of a plant is in the firm of a simple sugar called glucose. The materials need for photosynthesis are water minerals carbon dioxide chlorophyll and sunlight.
