Question

Give a brief description of the process of synthesis food in green plant.what is chlorophyll? what is the role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Chlorophyll is a green pigment that is present in every green part of a plant.It helps in the process of photosynthesis  to prepare its own food

During photosynthesis , 3 main things that happen are:

• trapping of solar energy by chlorophyll with the help of chloroplast
• conversion of light energy to chemical energy and splitting of water molecule to hydrogen and oxygen
• reduction of carbondioxide to carbohydrates

The main role of chlorophyll is to absorb or trap sunlight with the help of chloroplasts present in it

After the synthesis of food,it is transported to other parts of the plant through vascular bundles namely,xylem and phloem which transport water with minerals and food respectively.

The movement of food to the photosynthetic site is known as Translocation
