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: -The Two Parts of Photosynthesis In the Calvin cycle, which takes place in the stroma, the chemical energy derived from the light-dependent reactions drives both the capture of carbon in carbon dioxide molecules and the subsequent assembly of sugar molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is an endothermic reaction. The source of the energy for the formation of glucose is light (radiant energy), usually from the sun. Thus, green plants have the remarkable ability to trap the energy of sunlight and use that energy to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water.
