Question

What is the process of photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis

1. The process by which plants use water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight to produce oxygen and carbohydrates is called photosynthesis.
2. The conversion of light energy to chemical energy takes place in this process.
3. In plants, the chloroplast is essential to carry out the reaction.
4. Blue-green algae or Cyanobacteria do not contain chloroplast but produce energy through photosynthesis.
5. The equation for photosynthesis is given as follows-

${\text{6CO}}_2+12{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}+\mathrm{Light}\to {\mathrm{C}}_6{\mathrm{H}}_{12}{\mathrm{O}}_6+6{\mathrm{O}}_2+6{\mathrm{H}}_2\mathrm{O}$
