Question

What is photosynthesis? What are the raw materials required?​

Answer 1

Answer:

The raw material of photosynthesis water and carbon dioxide enter cell of the product of photosynthesis,sugar and oxygen leave the leaf

Answer 2

$\huge\bf{Answer:}$

Photosynthesis -

• Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some bacteria make their own food with the help of sunlight, water, CO2, chlorophyll.

• The meaning of photo - light; synthesis - putting together.

• Photosynthesis is a biochemical process.

• The process of photosynthesis is an autotrophic mode of nutrition.

• The equation of photosynthesis is -

6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2.

• The plants produce the product of photosynthesis as glucose and oxygen

$\bf{Raw\:Materials \:of \:photosynthesis :}$

There are 4 raw materials of photosynthesis :

1. Water : The water and minerals is absorbed from the soil through the hairs of roots. Water is transferred by xylem to the photosynthesis areas (leaves).

2. Chlorophyll : Chlorophyll is a green coloured pigment present in chloroplasts of a plant. It is responsible for trapping solar energy.

3. Light : Light is trapped by chlorophyll. It removes the hydrogen ions from water. The quality and intensity affect the rate of photosynthesis process.

4. Carbon dioxide : Carbon dioxide is obtained from cellular respiration of organisms and it enters in the stomata of the leave. It is responsible for balancing respiratory release of gas.
