Question

What is photosynthesis?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The process by which green plants make their own food is called photosynthesis

Answer 2

Explanation:

Process by which green plants turn carbon dioxide and water into food using sunlight,

$\large \sf 6CO_2 +6H_2 O \longrightarrow C_6 H_{12} O_6 + 6O_2$

In photosynthesis, oxygen, carbon dioxide, ATP, and NADPH are reactants. GA3P and water are products. In photosynthesis, chlorophyll, water, and carbon dioxide are reactants

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).

The primary function of photosynthesis is to convert solar energy into chemical energy and then store that chemical energy for future use. For the most part, the planet's living systems are powered by this process. It's not particularly efficient by human engineering standards, but it does the job
