Question

Plants synthesize glucose in sunlight with the help of chlorophyll from carbon dioxide and water and give away oxygen. identify the four compounds in this process and name their types.

Answer 1

Photosynthesis is a chemical process through which plants, some bacteria and algae, produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using only light as a source of energy, which is absorbed by chlorophyll.

\[\ce{6CO2 + 6H2O \underset{chlorophyII}{->}C6H12O6 + 6O2}\]

Compounds and Their Types:

Compound	Chemical Formula	Type of Compound
1. Carbon dioxide	CO₂	Inorganic compound
2. Water	H₂O	Inorganic compound
3. Glucose	C₆H₁₂O₆	Organic compound
4. Oxygen	O₂	Inorganic compound (elemental gas)
