Bioenergetics Biology for 9 & 10 Chapter - 4 Q.1. What is photosynthesis? Represent it by a chemical equation. Ans: Green plants produce carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. This process is called photosynthesis. Photosynthasis is a biochemical reaction shown below: Energy is required to maintain the process of life of organisms, for activities like locomotion, healing of injury, growth and reproduction. The main source of energy is the sun. Through photosynthesis, plants store solar energy in carbohydrates as potential energy. During respiration, this potential energy is converted into kinetic energy (ATP) in the form of heat, which supplies the necessary energy for various physiological activities. Q.2. What are the raw materials for photosynthesis? Q.3. What is respir...
