photosynthesis
The production of carbohydrate (glucose) from co2 and water using light energy trapped by chlorophyll
equation for photosynthesis
6Co2+6H2O = C6H12O6+6O2
Role of photosynthesis
makes food for plants, responsible for forming fossil fuels
main events of photosynthesis
light energy is absorbed in energy in chlorophyll, light energy splits water, the products are used, energy energises electrons and is passed from electron acceptor to electron acceptor in chlorophyll to make ATP, glucose is formed using co2.
equation for splitting of water
H2O=2H(plus)+2e(minus)+1/2O2
