What do you understand by photosynthesis ? Explain with diagram and equation.
Answers
Answer:
Through a process called photosynthesis, plants use energy in sunlight to turn a gas called carbon dioxide and water into sugar. Plants then use this sugar to grow. At the same time, plants produce a gas called oxygen as a waste product, which is lucky for us and other animals because we need oxygen to breathe.

photosynthesis:
Through a process called photosynthesis, plants use energy in sunlight to turn a gas called carbon dioxide and water into sugar. Plants then use this sugar to grow. At the same time, plants produce a gas called oxygen as a waste product, which is lucky for us and other animals because we need oxygen to breathe.
history:
Photosynthesis, derived from the Greek words photo, meaning "light," and synthesis "putting together," is a process used by plants and some bacteria to harness the energy from sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide to produce sugar (glucose) and oxygen.
equation of photosynthesis:
The photosynthesis equation is as follows:
6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy from light produces glucose and oxygen.
Aim of equation:
The equation depicts the process by which plants and some bacteria produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water using energy from sunlight, as indicated in Jones and Jones' Advanced Biology Textbook (1997). In most plants, water is supplied from the roots, with the leaves collecting carbon dioxide via the stomata and sunlight captured by the chloroplasts in the leaves.
