MCQ on Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and some bacteria use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to prepare their food. This is a biogeochemical process in which light energy is converted into chemical energy.

Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplast. The chlorophyll present in the chloroplast traps the light from the sun and carries out the process.
