Question

What are the raw materials for photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Hint: Photosynthesis is a process through which plants and other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy, which is then released to power the organism's metabolic activities through cellular respiration. Photosynthesis is the process of storing chemical energy in carbohydrate molecules like sugars and starches, which are made from carbon dioxide and water.
Most of the time, oxygen is discharged as a waste product. Photoautotrophs are organisms that perform photosynthesis, such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.

Complete answer:
The following are the raw ingredients used in photosynthesis:
Carbon dioxide is exchanged through the stomata, which is a gaseous exchange system.
Water - roots absorb water from the soil, whether it comes from irrigation or rain.
Sunlight is trapped by chlorophyll, a green pigment found in green plants.
 \[6C{O_2} + {\text{ }}6{H_2}O {\text{arrow}} {C_6}{H_{12}}{O_6}{\text{ }} + {\text{ }}6{O_2}\] is the formula for photosynthesis.
This means that the light energy collected by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) turns the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, into the products, a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules.
Light absorption, electron transport leading to the reduction of \[NAD{P^ + }\] to \[NADPH\], ATP production, and \[C{O_2}\] conversion to carbohydrates are the four steps of the photosynthetic process in plants, each occurring in a different location of the chloroplast: (i) light absorption, (ii) electron transport leading to the reduction of \[NAD{P^ + }\] to \[NADPH\], (iii) ATP production, and (iv) \[C{O_2}\] conversion to carbohydrates (carbon fixation).

Additional information:
Small organelles called chloroplasts store the energy of sunlight inside the plant cell. The plant's green colour is caused by chlorophyll, a light-absorbing pigment found within the chloroplast's thylakoid membranes. Chlorophyll absorbs energy from blue and red-light waves during photosynthesis and reflects the plant taking on a green hue as a result of the green light waves.

Note:
Plants absorb carbon dioxide and water from the air and soil during photosynthesis. In the plant cell, water is oxidised, which means it loses electrons, but carbon dioxide is reduced, which means it gains electrons. Carbon dioxide is converted to glucose, while water is turned to oxygen. After that, the plant releases oxygen into the environment while storing energy in glucose molecules.
