The process by which green plants make their own food (like glucose) from carbon dioxide and water using sunlight energy in the presence of chlorophyll, is called photosynthesis.
- Oxygen gas is released during photosynthesis.
Chemical equation -
- 6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy --chlorophyll--> C6H12O6 + 6O2
The process of photosynthesis takes place in the green leaves of a plant.
The Conditions Necessary for photosynthesis to take place are :-
- Sunlight
- Chlorophyll
- carbon dioxide
- water
The photosynthesis takes place in the following three steps :-
- Absorbtion of sunlight energy by chlorophyll.
- Conversion of light energy into chemical energy, and splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen by light energy.
- Reduction of carbon dioxide by hydrogen to form carbohydrates like glucose by utilising the chemical energy.
