EVERYDAY SCIENCE

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: -Autotrophs: Autotrophs are plants, cyanobacteria that capture energy from sunlight along with water and carbon dioxide and store that energy in chemical bonds in sugars through a combination of reactions.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis: Photosynthesis is the process of synthesis of food in plants with the help of chlorophyll and carbon dioxide in the presence of sunlight. Water and minerals present in the soil are absorbed by the roots and transported to the leaves by the vessels.

Detailed explanation-4: -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-5: -Chemosynthesis is the process by which food (glucose) is made by bacteria using chemicals as the energy source, rather than sunlight. Chemosynthesis occurs around hydrothermal vents and methane seeps in the deep sea where sunlight is absent.
