(ii) Sucrose is the product. (ii) Sucrose is broken down.
(iii) Occurs in green cells only. (iii) Occurs in all cells.
(iv) Uses water and oxygen. (iv) Uses glucose and oxygen.
The process of photosynthesis is considered as an oxidation-reduction reaction activated by light absorbed by chlorophyll or certain other substances (e.g., phycocyanin, fucoxanthol), resulting in the evolution of oxygen from water and in the formation of reduced carbon compounds (e.g., carbohydrate) from carbon ...
Question
Describe the mechanism of photosynthesis with diagram.
Answer
Definition→ "Photosynthesis (Photos - light, synthesis = putting together) is an anabolic process in which green plants or green parts of the plants synthesize or manufacture complex carbonaceous organic food substances (carbohydrates) with carbon dioxide and water(respectively taken from air and water) in the presence of sunlight and evolve oxygen as by product
Thus, in this process radiant energy is converted into chemical energy."
However, green plants apart from taking nutrients from soil, make their own food by utilising carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. This is basis of photosynthesis. During this process, oxygen is evolved and released to the atmosphere.
cess, oxygen is evolved and released to the atmosphere.A simple equation given by C. B. van Niel of Stanford University, U.S.A. as follows
Water molecule splits in presence of light. This process is called photolysis and O2 is released
Importance of photosynthesis.
★Food is the source of energy needed by animal and plant life. And this food is manufactured by green plants from inorganic substances with the aid sunlight energy during photosynthesis. Food represents the stored energy of sunrays. Fuel in the form of wood is also the indirect result of photosynthesis activity of plants and it is also thought that coal, petroleum, etc., are also the remote consequences of photosynthesis. A number of other substances are also produced as the by-products, for example, the oxygen needed by animals and human being continues to be supplied by Photosynthesis
