Question

What are the raw materials needed for the photosynthesis ?for 2or &3marks

Answer 1

Essential raw materials for photosynthesis are -
carbon dioxide: it is a gas which is released into atmosphere during respiration.
Water: it is another requirement for photosynthesis which is transported upward through xylem tissue to the leaves, from where it reaches photosynthetic cells.
Chlorophyll: it is green pigment in plants which act as catalyst. It is responsible for absorption of sun's light by the plant. The chlorophyll pigments are photoreceptor molecules which play a key role in the photosynthesis process.
Light: light effects photosynthesis with its intensity, duration and quality. In green light the rate of photosynthesis is minimum, while in red or blue light the rate of photosynthesis is maximum.
