Question
State the various steps involved in the process of photosynthesis.
✓
Answer
The photosynthesis takes place in the following three steps:
-
Absorption of sunlight energy by chlorophy ll.
-
Conversion of light energy into chemical energy and splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen by light energy.
-
Reduction of carbon dioxide by hydrogen to form carbohydrates like glucose by utilising the chemical energy.
