CELL RESPIRATION

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A process by which organisms use light to make their food, storing the light as chemical energy in the form of sugar. 6CO2 + 6H2O + energyC6H12O6 + 6O
A
cholorophyll
B
electron transport chain
C
chemosynthesis
D
photosynthesis
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

Detailed explanation-2: -Where does that energy come from? The short answer: photons of sunlight.

Detailed explanation-3: -Plants make sugar by using energy from sunlight to transform carbon dioxide (CO2), a gas absorbed from the air, and water (H20) taken from the ground by roots into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). This process is called photosynthesis and occurs in the chloroplast of the plant cell.

Detailed explanation-4: -So, the correct option is ‘Respiration’.

Detailed explanation-5: -The photosynthesis equation is as follows: 6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy)
