Question

In two sentences, justify the term photosynthesis (photo+ synthesis)

Answer 1

photo means light and synthesis means to make. In other words its means to make food in the presence of light

Answer 2

Answer:

                              Photosynthesis

• The process in which the cells in plants capture the energy from sunlight and use it to make food.
• In this ‘autotrophic organisms’ can use the light energy to make glucose and oxygen forms water and carbon-dioxide gas.
• The photosynthesis process is occurs in plants, algae and prokaryotes. It is an ‘anabolic process’.
• This process is mainly used for producing energy. The energy stored in the ‘form of carbohydrates’.  

The chemical reaction of photosynthesis is as followed below:

                       $6 c O_{2}+6 H_{2} O \stackrel{\text { sun light }}{\longrightarrow} c_{6} H_{12} O_{6}+6 O_{2}$
