Question

(i) Write the balanced chemical equation for the process of photosynthesis, (ii) When do the desert plants take up carbon dioxide and perform photosynthesis​

Answer 1

1) 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

2)At night, desert plants absorb carbon dioxide and form an intermediate product. During the day, when the stomata are closed to prevent water loss, they use this stored carbon dioxide for photosynthesis.
