Photosynthesis requires sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. Water and sunlight are used during the light reaction (in the presence of Chlorophyll), and carbon dioxide is used in the Calvin Benson Cycle (Dark reaction).

_____________________________________________________________________

Equation of photosynthesis:

Sunlight.............................

6CO2 + 6H20 → C6H12O6 + 6O2

..............Chlorophyll.......................

_____________________________

..................................Sunlight...........................

Carbon Dioxide + Water → Glucose + Oxygen

................................Chlorophyll..........................

Since the Oxygen liberated during photosynthesis comes from water and a number of enzymes are required to do the job the chemical equation for photosynthesis should be as under-

6CO2 + 12 H2O (in a living Choloroplast using sunlight) = C6H12O6 + 6H2O + 6O2

How does photosynthesis take place in winter?

Photosynthesis occurs within an ideal band of temperature. As the temperature changes in either direction from the center of the band, the photosynthesis rate decreases.


What are the requirements for the light reaction of photosynthesis?

Essentially all free energy utilized by biological systems arises from solar energy that is trapped by the process of photosynthesis. The basic equation of photosynthesis is deceptively simple. Water and carbon dioxide combine to form carbohydrates and molecular oxygen.

What are the essential requirements for plants to undergo photosynthesis?

Plants need three essential things to undergo photosynthesis: sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. These elements are used by the plant to create glucose, which is the energy source for the plant.


How are the requirements for photosynthesis obtained by the plant?

A plant can obtain the requirements for photosynthesis in two ways. One is through its leaves that absorb the necessary sunlight, and the other is through the roots that take up nutrients the plant needs to be able to complete photosynthesis.

What includes two requirements that are needed for photosynthesis AND aerobic respiration?

The two requirements that are necessary for both photosynthesis and aerobic respiration are sunlight (or light energy) and the presence of a molecule to carry out the process such as water or glucose. These processes involve the conversion of energy from one form to another, utilizing these common factors in different ways.


How are these requirement obtained by the plant?

The plant's requirements are obtained through biological actions such as photosynthesis and osmosis. A plant can take up water and nutrients from the ground through osmosis.

How is light a limiting factor?

Light can be a limiting factor for photosynthesis in plants as it is necessary for the process to occur. Insufficient light can reduce the rate of photosynthesis, affecting plant growth and development. Different plants have different light requirements, so the availability and intensity of light can determine their ability to thrive in a particular environment.
