Explain the significance of photosynthesis.
Write the balanced chemical equation involved in the process.
Asked by Palakshi Gupta Last Modified
Answer 
Photosynthesis is an important and crucial process where plants convert light energy (sunlight)into chemical energy (food)
Can also be defined in simpler terms as process by which plants prepare food by using sunlight, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll pigment.
It's impotance lies in providing food for the other living organisms, oxygen for the respiration, and regulating carbon dioxide gas in the nature
Equation: 6CO2+ 6H2O (sunlight, Chlorophyll)
--> C6H12O6+6O2

Photosynthesis is a phenomenon which takes place in the green parts of the plant in the presence of sunlight. It serves as a source of energy for all the living organisms and plants which are the primary producers in any food chain.The rate of photosynthesis influence the productivity of agricultural crops. It provides molecular oxygen in atmosphere to be consumed by other living organisms and keeps the ecosystem's oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in air thereby, purifying air.
Equation of photosynthesis
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6(Glucose) + 6O2

Significance of photosynthesis..
1)Photosynthesis serves as a source of energy for all the living organisms and plants are the primary producers in any food chain.
2)Through photosynthesis, plants also purify air by taking in carbon dioxide and giving out oxygen.
Equation of photosynthesis
6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6 + 6O2
read lessPhotosynthesis is a physiological process in which plants take in carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and convert them into glucose and oxygen.
Hence photosynthesis provide food for most of the living organisms. Oxygen released in the environment which is utilised by animals, human being and microbes in the process of respiration.
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 + 6H2O

ANSWER-
- It fixes and balances the amount of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the atmosphere by plants exhaling oxygen and animals and humans exhaling carbon dioxide. - It helps in the synthesis of organic compounds from inorganic compounds. - It provides nutrition to the plants and thus helps in their growth and development.
Write the balanced chemical equation involved in the process.
ANSWER-
The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.
