Question : (a) Name the process and explain the type of nutritio found

1.	Question : (a) Name the process and explain the type of nutritio found in green plants. List the raw materials required for this process. Give chemical equation for the mentioned process.(b)Write three events that occur during this process.
Answer» Solution :(a) The process of nutrition in green plants is Photosynthesis. The type of nutrition is autotrophicnutrition. Autotrophic nutrition requires sunlight, chlorophyll, water andcarbon dioxide. Plants prepare their own food in the form of glucose which gets CONVERTED to starch. Thisis done USING `CO_(2) and H_(2) O`which gets fixed using energy from sunlight by the chlorophyll molecule presentin green plants. Equation - `6CO_(2)+12H_(2)Ooverset("Chlorophyll,Sunlight")to underset(("Glucose"))(C_(6)H_(12)O_(6))+6O_(2)+6H_(2)O` (b)The three events involved are : (i) Absorption of sunlightby chlorophyll. (II) Conversion of this light energy into chemical and splitting of water into `H^(+) and OH^(-)`using this energy. (iii)Reduction of `CO_(2)`to carbohydrateby `H^(+)` produced due to splitting of water .
