Question

what do you mean by the term photosynthesis?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product.

Answer 2

Photosynthesis :

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants make their own food from simple molecules like carbon dioxide and water by using sunlight captured by the green pigment called chlorophyll.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Equation for photosynthesis :

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

$\tiny{\sf{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;\;Carbon\;dioxide+Water\;{\underset{Chlorophyll\;\;\;}{\xrightarrow{Sunlight\;\;\;}}}\;Glucose+Oxygen}}$

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Raw materials of photosynthesis :

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Carbon dioxide
• Water
• Sunlight
• Chlorophyll

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Products of photosynthesis :

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Simple sugar like glucose is formed. Glucose is stored as starch in the leaves.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

• Oxygen is released as a by-product.
