Question

Plants synthesize glucose in sunlight with the help of chlorophyll from carbon dioxide and water and give away oxygen. identify the four compounds in this process and name their types.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is a chemical process through which plants, some bacteria and algae, produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using only light as a source of energy, which is absorbed by chlorophyll.

6 CO₂ + ₆H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6 O₂

1. Four substances in this process are as follows:
2. Carbon dioxide = inorganic compound
3. Water = inorganic compound
4. Glucose = organic compound
5. Chlorophyll = complex compound
