Explanation:
The process in which green plant synthesis their food like glucose from CO2 (Carbon dioxide) and H2O (water) in the presence of sunlight with the help of chlorophyll.
Equation:
6CO2 + 12H2O (in the presence of light and chlorophyll) → C6H12O5 (glucose) + 6H2O + 6O2
Necessary things for photosynthesis:
- Carbon dioxide
- Water
- Chlorophyll
- Sunlight
- Terrestrial plants take CO2 from atmosphere while aquatic plants use CO2 dissolved in water.
- Photosynthesis convert light energy into chemical energy.
- The stages of photosynthesis
Photochemical reaction or light reaction
Dark chemical reaction
- Chlorophyll absorb tr violet, blue and red colors of light.
- Most common type of chlorophyll that found in plants are chlorophyll 'a' and 'b'.
- Water is necessary for photosynthesis and is absorbed by the roots of the plants.
- Oxygen that is produced during photosynthesis is because of photolysis of warer.
