Question

The product of photosynthesis is not a protein - State whether the statement is True or False? Justify your answer.
Topic: Nutrition in Plants

Answer 1

$\textbf{True}$

Product of photosynthesis is sugar.

" Photosynthesis "

It is the process by which green plant and some other organism use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water.

The main product form here is glucose and by products are oxygen and water.

Here it takes place in chlorophyll and I'm presence of sunlight.

There are two stages of photosynthesis :

1. Light reactions :

It occurs in the grana where photon are absorbed so as to excite electrons of chlorophyll to a higher energy level. These activated elctrons are harnessed to form ATP from the ADP and reduce NADP to NADPH. Wayer ia also spotted here and oxygen is released.

2. Dark reactions :

Calvin cycle occurring in chlorophyll here carbon combine with 5-carbon sugar called ribulose biphospahte. This unstable compound breaks down into 3-carbon compound. This then forms glucose.

Answer 2

The product of photosynthesis is not a protein. This statement is factual. The final product of the photosynthesis process is sugar.

In the photosynthesis, two reactions take place. One is the light reaction and another one is the dark reaction.

In the light reaction, ATP and NADPH are produced. In the dark reaction, glucose is formed.
