Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In photosynthesis formation of complex compounds from simple inorganic molecules is called ____
A
Anabolism
B
Photosynthesis
C
Catabolism
D
None
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Answer: ASolution: Photosynthesis is an enzyme regulated anabolic process which involves the synthesis of organic compounds, inside the chlorophyll containing cells, from CO2 and H2O with the help of sunlight as a source of energy.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. These sugar molecules are the basis for more complex molecules made by the photosynthetic cell, such as glucose.

Detailed explanation-3: -Since the synthesis of food occurs in the presence of sunlight, it is called photosynthesis (Photo: light; synthesis : to combine). So we find that chlorophyll, sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are necessary to carry out the process of photosynthesis. It is a unique process on the earth.

Detailed explanation-4: -Carbon dioxide(gas) and water are the inorganic compounds essential for photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-5: -A: The process of synthesis of complex organic molecules from simpler ones, by the living organisms is called Anabolism.
