What is Photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a chemical process. In this process, green plants and certain other organisms capture light energy to convert water, carbon dioxide and minerals into oxygen and organic compounds. Photosynthesis may be the most important chemical reaction in the living world. Because it releases oxygen and traps carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It sustains all food chains in the ecosystem. Photosynthesis takes place in the plant cell organelle called the Chloroplast . It contains a pigment called Chlorophyll that gives plants their green colour . Chlorophyll absorbs the blue and red parts of the light spectrum and reflects green light. This makes most plants appear green 🌿. It is also responsible for harvesting photons of light for photosynthesis. Can we get starch, protein and fat from vegetarian foods? The glucose produced as a result of photosynthesis in plants is easily soluble in water. A large number of green plants convert glucose into...
