Question

Explain what is photosynthesis???

Answer 1

⭐Photosynthesis is the biochemical process in which energy from sunlight is converted by plants, algae, into sugars.

⭐It is the process by which plants and other things make food.

⭐It is a chemical process that uses sunlight to turn carbon dioxide into sugars that the cell can use as energy.

⭐The energy absorbed by the chlorophyll is used to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen.

⭐The process by which green plants make their own food from carbon-dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

⭐During this process oxygen gas is released.

⭐Example of photosynthesis is

➡ plants convert sugar and energy from water, air and sunlight into energy to grow.

Answer 2

PHOTOSYNTHESIS is the process by which green plants take in carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of chlorophyll by using sunlight to make their own food, is called as photosynthesis. Oxygen is released as a by product.

The formula for photosynthetic reaction is :-

$\sf 12H_2O + 6CO_2 \underset{chlorophyll}{\xrightarrow{Sunlight}} C_6H_{12}O_6 + 6H_2O + 6O_2 \uparrow$
