- 'Photo' means 'light' and 'synthesis' means 'to build'. Thus Photosynthesis literally means 'building up with the help of light'.
- During this process, the light energy is converted into chemical energy.
- Green plants are autotrophic in their mode of nutrition because they prepare their food materials through this process.
- In this process, carbon dioxide combines with water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll to form carbohydrates. During this process oxygen is released as a byproduct.
- Photosynthesis occurs in green parts of plant such as leaves, stem and floral buds.
- Chlorophyll is the primary photosynthetic pigment.
- The end product of Photosynthesis is glucose which will be converted into starch and stored in the plant body.
- Plants take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis; but for it's living plants also need oxygen to carry on cellular respiration.
- The overall equation of Photosynthesis can be given as below:
