Answer:

Photosynthesis is coined from two words "photo" and "synthesis"

photo=light

synthesis=use something

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is coined from two words "photo" and "synthesis"

photo=light

synthesis=use something

photosynthesis is the process by which green plant manufacture their food(glucose) with the reaction between CO2 and Water in the presence of sunlight to produce glucose and oxygen. Photosynthesis takes place in the cell of green plant. specifically in the chloroplast

6CO2 + 6H2O ------> C6H12O6 + 6O2

                 Sunlight energy

Where: CO2 = carbon dioxide

H2O = water

Light energy is supplied  from the sun

C6H12O6 = glucose

O2 = oxygen

The oxygen exhaled by the plants is what humans breathe in during respiration and breathe out carbon dioxide

Photosynthesis is the process in which plants produce food as glucose from water and carbon dioxide using sunlight. The reactants in the photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide and water.

Photosynthesis:

  • It is the process in which plants produce food as glucose from water and carbon dioxide using light energy of sun by chlorophyll.
  • In this reaction Oxygen is released as by-product.

The chemical equation;

So, we can conclude that the reactants in the photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide and water.
