Question
Give the steps involved in photosynthesis.
✓

Answer

The process of photosynthesis involves a few events that may not occur immediately after one another. There might be a time lag between them.
  • The chlorophyll present in chloroplasts absorbs energy from sunlight.
  • This light energy is then converted into chemical energy which is used for making food.
  • The water molecules split to give hydrogen and oxygen.
  • Finally, $CO _2$ absorbed is reduced to form glucose (carbohydrate).
