EVERYDAY SCIENCE

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: -During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct.

Detailed explanation-4: -Energize! Plants use a process called photosynthesis to make food. During photosynthesis, plants trap light energy with their leaves. Plants use the energy of the sun to change water and carbon dioxide into a sugar called glucose.

Detailed explanation-5: -In a process called photolysis (’light’ and ‘split’), light energy and catalyst s interact to drive the splitting of water molecules into protons (H+), electrons, and oxygen gas.
