Question

Hello❤!!



Define Photosynthesis and Respiration. ​

Answer 1

➡Photosynthesis is a chemical process in which plants can make their own food by the help of sunlight , chlorophyll , water and carbon dioxide

6CO2 + 6H2O + Water => C6H12O6 + 6O2

➡Respiration is a process of releasing energy from food

Food + Oxygen => Carbon dioxide + Water + Energy

Answer 2

Answer:

Hey Buddy, Let's go for a brief explanation :-

Photosynthesis

• It is the process by which autotrophic organisms use light energy to make sugar and oxygen gas from carbon dioxide and water.
• It Occurs in plants, algae and some prokaryotes.

Process

1. The plant draws up water (H2O) through its roots.
2. The leaves take in Carbon dioxide from the air.
3. The leaves trap energy from sunlight.
4. The plant uses the energy of sunlight to turn water (H2O) and CO2, into sugars and oxygen (02).
5. The plant releases oxygen (O2)into the air.
6. The plant uses the sugars for growth.

Respiration

Respiration is the process by which an organism provides its cells with oxygen for metabolism, and removes carbon dioxide which is produced as a waste gas.

Detailed Explanation of Respiration

• Respiration is the release of energy from food substances in living cells.
• Aerobic respiration requires oxygen andreleases more energy than anaerobic respiration.
• Process]. Sugar + oxygen ----> carbon dioxide + water + energy

i.e). C6H12O6 + O2 -----> CO2 + H2O+ energy.

Hope that helps... : )
