Mechanism of Photosynthesis
Mechanism of Photosynthesis
Photosynthesis: Term photo synthesis was coined by Charles Reid Barnes in 1883. During photosynthesis the leaves containing chlorophyll in the presence of sunlight use carbon dioxide and water to synthesize glucose or sugar (simple carbohydrates). Carbohydrate which is produced in the process of photosynthesis is ultimately converted into starch and stored into leaves. From leaves it is transported to the parts of plants. Starch is a type of carbohydrate. The oxygen is so produced is released into atmosphere through the stomata. Leaves are known as the kitchen or food factories of the plants because photosynthesis takes place in leaves. Leaves look green because of the presence of cholrophyll. Besides leaves, photosynthesis takes place in other green parts of the plants also, such as in green stems. Sunlight is necessary for photosynthesis . Thus sun is the ultimate source of energy for all living organisms . The starch is carried to various parts of plants through pipe-like structures called phloem. The food stored in different parts of the plants are used by humans and animals. The chemical equation representing photosynthesis is as given below:
Water + Carbon dioxide —> Sugar + Oxygen
Sunlight, chlorophyll, water and carbon dioxide are essential for the process of photosynthesis. The food we eat is actually the solar energy captured by the leaves and stored in the form of food. This is why Sun is considered the ultimate source of energy.

8thMy experience with Abhyas is very good. I have learnt many things here like vedic maths and reasoning also. Teachers here first take our doubts and then there are assignments to verify our weak points.

7thIt was a good experience with Abhyas Academy. I even faced problems in starting but slowly and steadily overcomed. Especially reasoning classes helped me a lot.
Cheshta
10thA marvelous experience with Abhyas. I am glad to share that my ward has achieved more than enough at the Ambala ABHYAS centre. Years have passed on and more and more he has gained. May the centre flourish and develop day by day by the grace of God.
