explain how does the raw materials needed for photosynthesis reach the leaf.
draw the process of phtosynthesis.
answer in detail.
The process of making of food by green plants in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll is known as photosynthesis. Green plants make their food themselves. Green leaves make food from Carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
- In this process the light energy gets converted into chemical energy and stored as sugar..
- Some algae and all green plants are able to obtain raw materials and prepare their own organic food and that is why they are known as autotrophic.
- Plants need light energy, CO2, and H2O to prepare food. Plants inhale carbon-dioxide and exhale oxygen during the day as the plants get energy through the photosynthesis process. During the night, as the photosynthesis process cannot be happening without sun, the stomata of the plants do get closed and the plant exhales the carbon-dioxide.
- Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, using chlorophyll, the green pigment in plants.
- Plants capture sunlight energy for this process.
- Oxygen released in this reaction is necessary for all living things.
The chemical equation of photosynthesis
More to know:
Green colour is the most efficient colour in photosynthesis. The green color of plants is due to the presence of chlorophyll pigment. During photosynthesis, light energy from Sun is trapped by the green pigments present in plant cells. Plants absorb light primarily using the pigment chlorophyll, which is the reason that most plants have a green color.
