Answer 1

Answer:

Hope it will help you!!!

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. ... The conversion of usable sunlight energy into chemical energy is associated with the action of the green pigment chlorophyll.

Answer 2

$\huge\bf\underline{Photosynthesis}$

Photosynthesis is made of two words - 'photo' which means 'light' and 'synthesis' which means 'to make'. Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants synthesise organic food from carbon dioxide and water using solar energy by chlorophyll pigments. The sugar produced is stored in the form of starch in plants.

Equation for Photosynthesis:

$\small{6CO_2+12H_2O->C_{6}H_{12}O_{6}+6H_{2}O+6O_2 }$

Requirements for Photosynthesis:

1. Sunlight:

Its a natural source of light for photosynthesis. Photosynthetic pigments absorb only white light from electromagnetic spectrum.

2. Chlorophyll:

Chlorophyll is a green pigment that absorbs light.

3. Carbondioxide

The carbon dioxide is constant by the plants from atmospheric air.It is taken in through the stomata .

4. Water:

Water is absorbed by the roots.Water contains many minerals which is essential for photosynthesis.

Site of Photosynthesis:

Leaves are the site of photosynthesis.
