what is photosynthesis this is argent
Answers
Answer:
photosynthesis is the process of changing light energy into chemical energy this process is used by plants to make their own food by using inorganic raw materials
Process by which green plants make their own food from carbon dioxide and green colour pigment called chlorophyll , in the presence of sunlight energy.
• The most required source for making their own food is Sunlight energy.
Carbon dioxide + Water ---> Glucose + Oxygen
• Process of photosynthesis take place in the leaves of plants. And oxygen is produced which is utilized by living organisms for survival.
1) Photosynthesis first produces a simple carbohydrate called ' glucose ' as food.
2) Then Glucose carbohydrate gets converted into complex carbohydrate called ' starch '.
3) Starch gets stored as food in various parts of plant including leaves.
4) Some of the glucose gets converted into other types of plant food such as proteins, oils, vitamins.
5) Leaves are the food factories of plant. The photosynthesis takes place here because of the presence of chlorophyll. other parts of plants usually cannot synthesis food because they do not contain chlorophyll.
