NEET BIOLOGY

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 photosynthesis, light energy (sunlight) combines with the reactants-water and carbon dioxide-to form new products: glucose (sugar) and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-3: -The reactants of photosynthesis are sunlight, CO2, and water (H2O). The products of photosynthesis are glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). The reactants of cellular respiration, which are the products of cellular respiration, are carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and ATP.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water as starting reactants (Figure 5.5). After the process is complete, photosynthesis releases oxygen and produces carbohydrate molecules, most commonly glucose. These sugar molecules contain the energy that living things need to survive.

Detailed explanation-5: -Photosynthesis converts carbon dioxide and water into oxygen and glucose. Glucose is used as food by the plant and oxygen is a by-product. Cellular respiration converts oxygen and glucose into water and carbon dioxide. Water and carbon dioxide are by-products and ATP is energy that is transformed from the process.
