DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil. Within the plant cell, the water is oxidized, meaning it loses electrons, while the carbon dioxide is reduced, meaning it gains electrons. This transforms the water into oxygen and the carbon dioxide into glucose.

Detailed explanation-2: -Figure 1-A simplified illustration of photosynthesis. Inside the chloroplasts within leaves, light, water (H2O), and carbon dioxide (CO2) are transformed into energy and sugar (glucose). Using water, sunlight is converted into energy-storing molecules within the plant cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -The products of photosynthesis are glucose and oxygen. Although the hydrogen atoms from the water molecules are used in the photosynthesis reactions, the oxygen molecules are released as oxygen gas (O2). (This is good news for organisms like humans and plants that use oxygen to carry out cellular respiration!)

Detailed explanation-4: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested and converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose using water and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-5: -In photosynthesis, plants form glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water.
