Photosynthesis
questions for photosynthesis
Answers
Photosynthesis is the process to make food by sunlight,chlrophyll,water etc. in the plants.
mark me please
Photosynthesis is a process through which plants prepare its own food in the form of glucose from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. Here we are giving Questions and Answers on Photosynthesis in Plants Set I which consists of 10 MCQs to make you understand the process of photosynthesis, its importance, role of chlorophyll in photosynthesis process, what kind of reaction is photosynthesis etc. which are also important for various exams like UPSC-PT, State-PSC, SSC (10 & 10+2), Railway etc.

Therefore, Photosynthesis is an Oxidation-Reduction reaction which takes place in two steps; light reaction and dark reaction. With the help of Question and Answers we have tried to cover the whole process and also we come to know how light energy is converted into chemical energy.
It can be explained via equation also:
6Co2 + 12 H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O
