79. Explain the mechanism of photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the process through which plants use sunshine, CO2, and water to make their own sustenance. With the evolution of oxygen, CO2 and water are transformed to carbs. The following reaction can be used to describe the photosynthesis reaction..

6CO+ 6H2Sunlight energy C6H12O+ 6O2

Process of Photosynthesis is divided into 4 processes

  1. Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll
  2. Conversion of light energy into chemical energy
  3. Splitting of water molecules into Hydrogen and Oxygen
  4. Reduction of CO2 to produce carbohydrates
