Question

What is Photosynthesis?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Photosynthesis, the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

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).
