Answer 1

Explanation:

There are three sets of events that take place during photosynthesis. Following are the events that take place in the process of photosynthesis:

• Absorption of light energy in the form of sunlight by the chlorophyll is the first event that takes place.
• The second event that takes place during the process of photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy where the splitting of water molecules takes place. The water molecule is split into hydrogen and oxygen.
• The third and last event in the process of photosynthesis is reduction of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates.

Following is the chemical equation for the process of photosynthesis:

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Where,

CO2 is carbon dioxide

H2O is water

C6H12O6 is glucose

O2 is oxygen

Along with the above mentioned, light energy in the form of sunlight is also required
