Question

what are photosynthesis?​

Answer 1

${\textsf{\textbf{\red{\underline{\underline{✠\:Photosynthesis\::}}}}}}$

${ }$

❭❭ Green plants make their food (glucose) from carbon dioxide and water. In the process, solar energy (light energy from the sun) is converted into chemical energy to be stored in the food molecules. Since plants use energy from sunlight for the synthesis of food, this process is called Photosynthesis.

${\bold{≽}}\:{\sf{\bold{\gray{Food\:Supply\::\:}}}}$

$\:\:↳\:$Photosynthesis is the only process by which green plants convert sun's energy into food for all living beings.

${\bold{≽}}\:{\sf{\bold{\gray{Oxygen\:Supply\::\:}}}}$

$\:\:↳\:$Photosynthesis is the only natural process in which oxygen is liberated in the atmosphere.

${≽}\:{\sf{\bold{\gray{Controls\:on\:Carbon\:dioxide\:Concentration\::\:}}}}$

$\:\:↳\:$Photosynthesis helps to keep carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere constant. Carbon dioxide being released during respiration by living organisms is used during photosynthesis.
