Question 4.Give the brief description of the process of synthesis of food in green plants.

Answer:

In plants , the synthesis of food occurs by process called photosynthesis. During photosynthesis, chlorophyll containing cells of the leaves use carbon dioxide and water to synthesize carbohydrates in the presence of sunlight. The process can be represented by an equation:

Sunlight

Carbon dioxide + water ———–à Carbohydrates + Oxygen.

Chlorophyll

During this process oxygen is released. The carbohydrates formed ultimately get converted into starch.
