Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.
Detailed explanation-2: -The three main types of photosynthesis are C3, C4, and CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism). In college I had to memorize some of their pathways and mechanisms, but I will highlight what gives one an advantage over another and what types of crops, forages, and weeds have specialized C3 and C4 photosynthesis.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are four factors which are necessary for the process of photosynthesis, water, carbon dioxide, sunlight, and chlorophyll.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main factors affecting rate of photosynthesis are light intensity, carbon dioxide concentration and temperature.
