What is the energy source for photosynthsis?

Answer 1

The main source of photosynthesis is sunlight.

Because 'photo' means 'sunlight'. So photosynthesis means "Formation of energy through sunlight including nutrients from the soil and water".

Answer 2

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use Solar Energy to produce glucose, which is then used to produce ATP. Glucose is produced in the light reactions, whereas ATP is produced during the Calvin-Benson Cycle AKA the light-independent reactions.

Answer 3

Light.

I know this isn't the question but I will also give a brief description of photosynthesis.

Light from the sun hits the cells of the leaf in a plant, and reacts with the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts (in the cells).

The plant also takes in water from the ground and carbon dioxide from the air.

Then the plant, (using the energy absorbed from the light,) turns the water and carbon dioxide into glucose sugar, and then into starch (The plant uses starch for food).

The plant also produces oxygen as a by-product.

The equation for this is: water + carbon dioxide -----> glucose + oxygen

or 6(H2 O) + 6(C O2) -----> C6 H12 O6 + 6(O2)

Answer 4

The energy source for photosynthesis is sunlight. Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll in plant cells and converted into chemical energy in the form of glucose through a series of chemical reactions.
