NEET BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the biochemical process by which plants, algae and certain bacteria can convert the sun’s energy into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-2: -Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy whereby carbon dioxide and water are converted into organic molecules. The process occurs in almost all algae, and in fact much of what is known about photosynthesis was first discovered by studying the green alga Chlorella.

Detailed explanation-3: -Algae contain chlorophyll and can prepare their own food by photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight using carbon dioxide and water.

Detailed explanation-4: -Phytoplankton, literally “wandering plants, ” are microscopic algae that float in the open water and give it a green appearance. They carry out photosynthesis using carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the water and release oxygen that is used by the bacteria and animals in the pond.
