Chapter 7, Problem 4SQ
Summary Introduction
To explain:
How the name “photosynthesis” describes the accomplishment of this process.
Introduction:
Photosynthesis is a process in which the green plants and algae use sunlight (solar energy) to synthesize the nutrients that is glucose from the use of carbon dioxide and water. This process generally takes place in the chloroplast where chlorophyll pigment is present. This pigment absorbs the sunlight and gives green color to the plant.
