Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria, and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce sugar, which cellular respiration converts into ATP, the "fuel" used by all living things. The conversion of unusable sunlight energy into usable chemical energy, is associated with the actions of the green pigment chlorophyll. Most of the time, the photosynthetic process uses water and releases the oxygen that we absolutely must have to stay alive. Oh yes, we need the food as well! Photosynthesis is the process through which plants use the sun's energy to make their own food. The reactants are carbon dioxide and water. The plants get the carbon dioxide through the stomata which are the tiny pores on the underside of the leaf. They get the water through the roots. The products of photosynthesis are oxygen and glucose. The oxygen is released through the stomata or used in respiration. The glucose is the food the plant needs. It is converted into starch which is stored in the leaf. Photosynthesis also releases energy. Sunlight is needed for photosynthesis to take place so it only happens in the day time and happens more in summer than in winter. Chlorophyll, the green pigment found in leaves, is also needed. Photosynthesis takes place in the palisade cells in the leaf. We can write the overall reaction of this process as: 6H2O + 6CO2 ----------> C6H12O6+ 6O2 Most of us don't speak chemicalese, so the above chemical equation translates as: six molecules of water plus six molecules of carbon dioxide produce one molecule of glucose plus six molecules of oxygen
Photosynthesis is the process of light
It happens through the chloroplasts in a plants cell
Photosynthesis a sequence of chemical changes that takes place in a millionth of a second.
It uses chlorophyll.
false, photosynthesis occurs in plants only
false
true
true
No options are given
yes you ar true. it is the main product of photosynthesis.
false, photosynthesis occurs in plants only
True
true
True.
it is true that photosynthesis continues to increase with higher temperatures because it makes the process speed up.
true
true
No it is not true
true
False, because only green plants carry out photosynthesis. Non-green plants do not carry out photosynthesis.
No it is not true. It is a useble product.
