Answer:

During photosynthesis,

#Plants absorb light energy from the sun in the presence of chlorophyll.

#Convertion of light energy into chemical energy and splitting of water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen.

#Reduction of carbon dioxide into carbohydrates

Step-by-step explanation:

-There are two steps in photosynthesis. The first step directly utilizes light energy and occurs in the thylakoids of chloroplasts. It is called light reaction or photochemical reaction. The second step utilizes assimilatory power of light reaction and occurs in the stroma of chloroplasts. It is called dark reaction or thermochemical reaction

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. This glucose can be converted into pyruvate which releases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. Oxygen is also formed.
