Photosynthesis is the process whereby a green plant gains energy. To do so, it uses solar energy (absorbed through the leaves) combined with nutrients from the soil, water and carbondioxide.

This allows the plant to bond and store energy, and produces oxygen as a result.

What is the name of the process where the plant transforms light energy into chemical energy and makes sugar?

photosintesis


Explain in your own words the relation shep between photosintesis and cell in a plant?

The process of photosynthesis occurs inside the plant cell.With the help of photosynthesis plant cells make their food.Without photosynthesis plant cells will function very poorly.


What is needed for photosintesis?

Photosynthesis requires three main things: sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants use these inputs to convert light energy into chemical energy, producing glucose (sugar) and oxygen as byproducts. This process is crucial for the survival of plants and is a foundational part of the Earth's ecosystem.


What is the overall equation for photosintesis?

The overall equation for photosynthesis can be summarized as: [ 6 , \text{CO}_2 + 6 , \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{light energy} \rightarrow \text{C}6\text{H}{12}\text{O}_6 + 6 , \text{O}_2 ] This equation illustrates that carbon dioxide and water, in the presence of light energy, are transformed into glucose and oxygen.


Why is air pressure important for life?

Not all living things need air to survive. Do you like cakes? The yeast used to make them is a fungus that hates air and is a close relative to the yeast that gives us beer. Many living organisms need air for the oxygen which enables them to use the Calvin Cycle. There are also organisms that go through chemosynthesis at the volcanic vents at the sea floor. The vents provide many different chemicals and elements (mostly sulfur) that various organisms will use to provide energy for cell respiration. They do not need "air" or even sunlight. Most living things use oxygen in the chemical process that releases energy from food.
