ELEMENT ROLE IN
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
Answers
Answer:
1. To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
2. Living organisms often contain trace amounts of several elements, but the most abundant ones are oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus.
3. Photosynthesis plays a vital role in our environment. The whole life form is directly or indirectly dependent on the process of photosynthesis carried out by plants. If photosynthesis does not occur in plants then plants cannot synthesize the food. ... We will not get oxygen, food, and life on this planet will be extinct.
Answer:
Carbon, Hydrogen and Oxygen which are also the main components of Carbohydrates, the primary product of photosynthesis.

Oxygen : in gaseous form O2 and in water.
Carbon : as CO2 and carbohydrates (glucose).
Magnesium : a key element of chlorophyll.
Hydrogen : as H+ ion and in H2O (water).
Phosphorus : present in ATP.
