Answer 1

photosynthesis is the process by which green plants prepare their own food using carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.

Answer 2

Definition

• ✔Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.

• ✔During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

Byproduct

• Oxygen is a byproduct of photosynthesis and, correspondingly, carbon dioxide the byproduct of respiration.

Formula

• The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Purpose

• The main purpose of photosynthesis is to convert radiant energy from the sun into chemical energy that can be used for food. Cellular respiration is the process that occurs in the mitochondria of organisms (animals and plants) to break down sugar in the presence of oxygen to release energy in the form of ATP.
