Question

Name the raw materials needed for photosynthesis.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis:

1. The process by which the plants prepare their own food with the help of sunlight is known as photosynthesis.
2. The conversion of sunlight into usable chemical substances is attained by chlorophyll.
3. The raw materials needed for the process of photosynthesis are CO₂ and H₂O.
4. 6 molecules of water and 6 molecules of carbon dioxide with the help of sunlight produce glucose and 6 molecules of oxygen.
5. The equation for photosynthesis is: $6H_{2}O+6C{O}_2\to C_6{H}_{12}{O}_6+6O_2$
