From where do plants get each of the raw materials required for photosynthesis? |
|
Answer» For photosynthesis, green plants absorb water and minerals from the soil and use the energy of the sun to synthesize sugars (carbohydrates) absorbed by chlorophyll and other green parts of plants. The carbon is obtained in the form of CO2 from the atmosphere through stomata. The most commonly synthesized sugar is glucose. The materials required by the plant for Photosynthesis are water , Carbon dioxide , sunlight , chlorophyll and other nutrients . Plant obtains water and other nutrients like iron magnesium etc. from the soil with the help of its roots . Carbon dioxide is taken up by the plants from the surrounding through stomata and lenticles on leaves and stems . Chlorophyll is present in the leaves of green plants which absorbs sunlight from sun. |
