Introduction to Photosynthesis -

  • Green plants are the producers of the ecosystem.
  • This is so because they can synthesize organic food through the usage of inorganic ingredients.
  • The organic food is glucose and it is synthesized by using carbon dioxide, water, sunlight and chlorophyll.
  • There is an involvement of mineral ions.
  • Hence, photosynthesis is a Physico-chemical process by which plants use light energy to drive the synthesis of organic compounds.
  • The use of energy from sunlight by plants during photosynthesis is the basis of life on earth. 

 

Photosynthesis does not only involve oxidation but reduction as well. It is a redox reaction and the energy for the process is derived from the sunlight. Hence, the correct answer is option d.
