Question

state the importance of photosynthesis and write the overall chemical equation for the process

Answer 1

Without green plants performingphotosynthesis there would be no way for nature to replace all the oxygen being consumed in processes such as respiration and combustion. Furthermore the levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would increase. Thus, the balance of atmospheric gases is kept stable byphotosynthesis.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis is important to the plants as they get food from it. It also helps the organisms to consume their 10 percent of energy according to the 10 per cent law.  Water + carbon dioxide  gives glucose + oxygen
