Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The equation below represents a biological process. Where is this process completed? carbon dioxide + water
A
mitochondria
B
ribosomes
C
cell membrane
D
chloroplasts
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process that plants use in the presence of sunlight to convert carbon dioxide taken in by their leaves and water taken in through the roots to produce oxygen and sugar (glucose). This process takes place in the chloroplast of the plant cell with the presence of the green pigment of chlorophyll.

Detailed explanation-2: -The process of photosynthesis is commonly written as: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. This means that the reactants, six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules, are converted by light energy captured by chlorophyll (implied by the arrow) into a sugar molecule and six oxygen molecules, the products.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the process in plants and certain other organisms that uses the energy from the sun to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (a sugar) and oxygen.

Detailed explanation-4: -The chemical equation for photosynthesis is 6CO2+6H2O→C6H12O6+6O2.
