mention the organ and site of photosynthesis in green plant. what are the raw material essential for this process? how are they obtained? write complete balance chemical equation for the process. name the by product
Answers
Answer:
Photosynthesis occurs in the mesophyll cells in the leaves of plants where chloroplast is available in abundance. The raw materials required for photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight
Explanation:
Answer:
Organ-leaf; site-chloroplast in the leaf ; Raw materials- carbon dioxide,water,sunlight, chlorophyll.
They are obtained in the following ways:
Carbon dioxide- Land plants absorb carbon dioxide from the air while aquatic plants absorb carbon dioxide dissolved in water. It usually enters the leaves through stomata.
Sunlight/Energy- The chloroplast traps solar energy and the light energy is converted into a high energy phosphate, adenosine triphosphate or ATP.
Water- the water is absorbed by the roots through xylem with the help of suction pressure and transpiration pull.
Chlorophyll is present in the plant itself.
