Question

What is photosynthesis? ​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms' activities.

or

it is the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize nutrients from carbon dioxide and water. Photosynthesis in plants generally involves the green pigment chlorophyll and generates oxygen as a by-product.

Answer 2

• Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in green plants and other organisms.
• Light energy is collected and utilized by green plants to transform water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic molecules during photosynthesis.
• Photosynthesis is expressed as
• 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2.
• This signifies that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are transformed into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules.
• The products, by light energy collected by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow).
