What is Photosynthesis?
Answers
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities.
Answer:
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy.
It is convenient to divide the photosynthetic process in plants into four stages, each occurring in a defined area of the chloroplast: (1) absorption of light,
(2) electron transport leading to the reduction of NADP+ to NADPH,
(3) generation of ATP,
and (4) conversion of CO2 into carbohydrates (carbon fixation).
Explanation:
Photosynthesis takes place inside plant cells in small objects called chloroplasts . Plants get carbon dioxide from the air through their leaves, and water from the ground through their roots. Light energy comes from the Sun. The oxygen produced is released into the air from the leaves.
