Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(i) Photosynthesis takes place in the grana and stroma of the chloroplast (Plastid) in green plants.
(ii) The raw materials required for this process are carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight and chlorophyll.
(iii) Carbon dioxide enters into the leaves through stomata and cells of the roots absorbs water from the soil.
(iv) Balanced equation for photosynthesis -
`6CO_(2)+6H_(2)O overset(" Chlorophyll ")underset(" Sunlight ")rarr C_(6)H_(12)O_(6)+6O_(2)`.
(v) The byproducts in this process is the evolution of oxygen gas.
