. Write the chemical reaction of photosynthesis and events that occurred during the process
Best Answer
Explanation-
6CO2 + 12H2O →→C6H12O6 + 6H2O +6O2
Photosynthesis occurs in two phases-
- The hotochemical phase occurs inside the thylakoids. It is a “light dependent step”, in this phase, photolysis of water takes place for the production of assimilatory power(NADPH and ATP). Oxygen is involved in this phase.
- The biosynthetic phase (Dark or Blackman’s phase)- occurs in the stroma of the chloroplasts. The reaction is not light-dependant. Assimilatory power formed during the photochemical phase is used for the fixation and reduction of carbon dioxide. Glucose is the end product.
Final Answer-
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produce their food that is carbohydrates in two phases one which is light-dependent and the other is not.
The final product formed is glucose.
