Question

(a) Draw the cross section of a leaf and label the following
parts :
(i) upper epidermis (ii) chloroplast(b) Define photosynthesis List
three events which occur duringphotosynthesis Write chemical
equation involved duringphotosynthesis

Sumedha Rai · Accepted Answer

(b)
Photosynthesis
is the process by which chlorophyll-containing cells synthesize
food in the form of carbohydrates form carbon dioxide and water
using sunlight

Therefore, the
raw materials required for photosynthesis are
CO2
and
H2O
and the products formed are carbohydrates
and

O2

Hence, the
process can be represented as:

The three
major events that occur during photosynthesis
are:

1 Absorption
of light energy by
chlorophyll

2 Conversion
of light energy to chemical energy and splitting of water molecules
into hydrogen and
oxygen

3 Reduction of
carbon dioxide to
carbohydrates

(a) Draw the cross section of a leaf and label the following parts :(i) upper epidermis (ii) chloroplast(b) Define photosynthesis. List three events which occur duringphotosynthesis. Write chemical equation involved duringphotosynthesis
