Question

What is photosyntheis?

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is the synthesis of Glucose (C₆H₁₂O₁₀) from 6 molecules of CO₂.

  

C₆H₁₂O₁₀ ------------------------------> CO₂. ^{This reaction occurs in the presence of Light and Chlorophyll}

Is the conversion of an inorganic compound into a carbohydrate, a organic compound. This process is carried out by plants, algae and some bacteria. Photosynthetic organisms, takes energy from the light generated by the sun, on his chloroplasts, the organelles where the Chlorophyll (the molecule responsible of Photosynthesis) takes the light energy from the sun to make glucose
