Question

what is photosynthesis draw a schematic diagram to show photosynthesis​

Answer 1

Answer:

Definition of photosynthesis -

The process of making food by Green plants (autotroph) is called photosynthesis. For performing photosynthesis water, sunlight and carbon dioxide are used by the plants.

They take sunlight from sun, water from soil and carbon dioxide gas from the air present around us. The leaves have small holes called stomata which allows air to enter the plant. Leaves also contains chlorophyll in them which traps sunlight and helps in making food. Roots of plants absorbs water and Minerals from the soil and transfers them leaves through stem.

The chemical equation for the photosynthesis

is -

carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen + energy

Answer 2

Photosynthesis is a process where autotrophic plants create their own food in the presence of sunlight using carbon dioxide and water.

Explanation:

• The leaves of plants absorb the red and blue light into their leaves, reflecting green light. This is why most plants are green in color.
• A chemical called Chlorophyll is found inside most of the plant cells. This is the substance that absorbs sunlight.
• Meanwhile, plants are absorbing water through their roots and storing it within their cells.
• When the sunlight hits the water molecules, the water breaks apart into hydrogen and oxygen.
• Plants also take carbon dioxide in through holes in their leaves, called stomata. This is a plant’s way of respiration.
• When the carbon dioxide combines with hydrogen, a type of sugar called glucose is formed. This is a plant’s food and it uses this energy to live and grow.
• The extra oxygen molecules are released back into the atmosphere​.
