what is photosynthesis?
Answers
Answer:
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 activities.
• Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in green plants and other creatures.
• During photosynthesis, green plants absorb and use light energy to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic molecules.
The chemical formula for photosynthesis is
• 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2 • 6CO2 + 6H2O C6H12O6 + 6O2
• This denotes the transformation of the reactants, which are six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules.
• The products, which are made possible by the light energy received by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow).
