What substances are
produced during photosynthesis?

Answer 1

The process of making food by Green plants (autotroph) is called photosynthesis. For performing photosynthesis water, sunlight and carbon dioxide are used by the plants.

They take sunlight from sun, water from soil and carbon dioxide gas from the air present around us. The leaves have small holes called stomata which allows air to enter the plant. Leaves also contains chlorophyll in them which traps sunlight and helps in making food. Roots of plants absorbs water and Minerals from the soil and transfers them leaves through stem.

The chemical equation for the photosynthesis

is -

carbon dioxide + water -> glucose + oxygen + energy

Answer 2

Answer/Explanation:

1. To perform photosynthesis, plants need three things: carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight. for photosynthesis.

2. During photosynthesis, plants produce glucose from simple inorganic molecules - carbon dioxide and water - using light.
