State the events occurring during the process of photosynthesis. Is it essential that these steps take place one after the other immediately? |

Answer» 6CO2 (Carbon dioxide) + 6H2O (water) \( \underset{chlorophyll}{\stackrel{Sunlight}{\rightarrow}} \) C6H12O6 (Carbohydarate) + 6O2 (oxygen) Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
These steps need not take place one after the other immediately. For example, desert plants take up carbon dioxide at night and prepare an intermediate which is acted upon by the energy absorbed by the chlorophyll during the day |
