PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Carbon dioxide is taken in through the stomata & water is taken in through the roots. What else is needed to start the process of photosynthesis?
A
Oxygen
B
Chemical energy
C
Glucose
D
Radiant energy
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) from the air and soil.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plants take up the water that they need from the soil through their roots. Carbon dioxide is a gas found in the air; plants can take in this gas through tiny holes in their leaves. Once they have water and carbon dioxide, they can use energy from sunlight to make their food.

Detailed explanation-3: -The small pores present on leaves help plants take in carbon dioxide and give out oxygen during the process of photosynthesis. These pores are called stomata.

Detailed explanation-4: -Through photosynthesis, they use sunlight and carbon dioxide to make food, belching out the oxygen that we breathe as a byproduct. This evolutionary innovation is so central to plant identity that nearly all land plants use the same pores-called stomata-to take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen.
