Materials Needed for Photosynthesis
- Chlorophyll. Chlorophyll, the pigment in plants that makes them green, is essential to the photosynthetic process.
- Sunlight. The process cannot work without an energy input, and this comes from the sun. ...
- Water. As any gardener knows, plants take in water from the ground through their roots. ...
- Carbon Dioxide. ...

What are the starting materials in photosynthasis?
What Are the Starting & Ending Materials of Photosynthesis?
- Raw Materials. Sunlight (energy), carbon dioxide from the air and water are the raw materials plants gather from their environment to conduct photosynthesis.
- Plant Compounds. Plants contain a pigment called chlorophyll. ...
- Resulting Materials. Materials resulting from the photosynthesis process are oxygen and glucose. ...
What is the useful product in photosynthesis?
What Is Photosynthesis in Biology?
- Photosynthesis is also used by algae to convert solar energy into chemical energy. ...
- Photosynthesis occurs when plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen. ...
- Each chloroplast contains a green-coloured pigment called chlorophyll. ...
- Another by-product of photosynthesis is sugars such as glucose and fructose.
What supplies the energy for photosynthesis?
- Oxygen and water are converted into glucose sugar and carbon dioxide.
- Carbon dioxide and water are converted into glucose sugar and oxygen.
- Sugar is broken into water and oxygen.
- Carbon dioxide and oxygen are converted into glucose sugar and water.
What are the raw materials of photosynthesis?
The raw materials of photosynthesis are carbon dioxide and water.
What is the main product of photosynthesis?
During the process of photosynthesis, we obtain, C6H12O6 (glucose) as the main product and oxygen as the byproduct. This process has two reactions: light reaction and dark reaction.
What do plants need to do photosynthesis?
For photosynthesis to occur, plants need sunlight, water, carbon dioxide and chlorophyll. Through the process of photosynthesis plants convert light energy into chemical energy. They use this energy to make food which they store as sugars.
Does photosynthesis produce glucose?
Photosynthesis does not produce glucose. The end product of photosynthesis is G3P, which can then be converted into glucose (for short term energy storage), starch (for long term energy storage), and cellulose (for structure). Photosynthesis is really complicated, and is far to long for me to explain it to you here, but Hank Green has a really good video on YouTube that you can watch, and it explains the whole thing.
Is glucose free in photosynthesis?
There is almost no free glucose in the final of photosynthesis. The net product could be the G3P and the end products are the sucrose and starch. Please edit your answers because they can mislead the other readers. Sucrose is needed in the other organs of plants like roots, where it is converted as starch that will be stored in the amyloplasts. In the leaves, the starch is stored in chloroplasts in their stroma (the conversion to starch happens in cytosol of root cells and then in the amyloplast). During the night starch is broken to give s
