What are the different steps of photosynthesis? Write the balanced equation of photosynthesis?
Answers
Photosynthesis is a complex process that can be divided into two or more stages, such light-dependent and light-independent reactions. ...
The Photosynthesis Process:
(i) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
(ii) Conversion of light energy into chemical energy, and splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen using light energy.
(iii) Reduction of carbon dioxide by hydrogen to form carbohydrate like glucose by utilizing the chemical energy.
equation...
6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2
Sunlight energy
Where: CO2 = carbon dioxide
H2O = water
Light energy is required
C6H12O6 = glucose
O2 = oxygen
Answer:
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.
