Explanation:

The process in which green plant synthesis their food like glucose from CO2 (Carbon dioxide) and H2O (water) in the presence of sunlight with the help of chlorophyll.

6CO2 + 12H2O (in the presence of light and chlorophyll) → C6H12O5 (glucose) + 6H2O + 6O2

Necessary things for photosynthesis:

  1. Carbon dioxide
  2. Water
  3. Chlorophyll
  4. Sunlight

  • Terrestrial plants take CO2 from atmosphere while aquatic plants use CO2 dissolved in water.
  • Photosynthesis convert light energy into chemical energy.
  • The stages of photosynthesis
  1. Photochemical reaction or light reaction
  2. Dark chemical reaction
  • Chlorophyll absorb tr violet, blue and red colors of light.
  • Most common type of chlorophyll that found in plants are chlorophyll 'a' and 'b'.
  • Water is necessary for photosynthesis and is absorbed by the roots of the plants.
  • Oxygen that is produced during photosynthesis is because of photolysis of warer.
