Photosynthesis: It is the process by which green plants make their own food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll and

sunlight.

6CO + 6H O SunlightchlorophyllSunlightchlorophyll→→ CH O + 6O

Mechanism of Photosynthesis:

1. Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.

2. Conversion of light energy into chemical energy.

3. Splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.

4. Reduction of carbon dioxide into carbohydrate.
