Question 10 (iii)
Mark ‘T’ if the statement is true and ‘F’ if it is false:
(iii) The product of photosynthesis is not a protein.
(iii) The given statement is true.
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants prepare food from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll. The prepared food or the product formed is a carbohydrate, which is stored as starch. Oxygen is also produced as a byproduct. The equation showing the process of photosynthesis is as follows:
Carbon dioxide + Water Sunlight,Chlorophyll−−−−−−−−−−−−−→ Carbohydrate (Starch) + Oxygen
