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