Answer 2

$\Huge{\underline{\underline{\mathfrak{Answer \colon}}}}$

Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process of synthesis of food in plants using inorganic raw materials (Water and Carbondioxide)

It involves:

• Absorption of Light Energy
• Converting light energy into chemical energy
• Splitting of water molecules into protons and oxygen atoms
• The protons are further used to reduce Carbondioxide to Carbohydrates

Requirements

• Water
• Sunlight
• Chloroplast
• Carbon Dioxide

Photosynthesis occurs as Light Reaction and Dark Reaction

Light Reaction

• Also known as Biosynthetic Phase
• Known for producing ATP and NADPH
• Occurs in grana of chlorophyll

Dark Reaction

• Known as PhotoChemical Phase
• Use of products released in the latter phase
• Occurs in stroma of Chlorophyll

Products are Glucose,Water and Oxygen
