Question

2. List the inputs and outputs of

photosynthesis. What part(s) of
the plant are responsible for
taking in each of the inputs?

Answer 1

Inputs: carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O)

Output: Sugar (C6H12O6) and oxygen

- Roots take in water

- Leaves take in carbondioxide

Step-by-step explanation:

Photosynthesis is a unique metabolic process undergone by only set of organisms called AUTOTROPHS. Autotrophs are capable of synthesizing their own food by capturing light energy (from sun) and using it to make food (sugars).

This photosynthetic process requires certain substances called INPUTS, which are basically carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) and give out products called OUTPUTS, which are sugars and oxygen gas.

- The CO2 input is taken in by the plant via the stomata on its leaves while the water (H2O) is absorbed by the roots of the plant.
