Answer the following question about the
generalized photosynthesis equation below:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H1206 I 602
Describe in words what occurs during the process
represented by the photosynthesis equation.
Include the imnortance of sunlight

Photosynthesis is a process in which food is produced. In this process, carbondioxode enters through small opening called stomata and water is absorbed by the plant from the soil. When these two substances combine in the presence of sunlight, two substances i. e. oxygen and glucose are formed. Glucose is stored in different parts of plant body and oxygen is released in the atmosphere. In photosynthesis, stomata opens only when sunlight is present so sunlight is the main component of this process.

many other transport proteins, often called pumps, move materials against a concentration gradient. active transport drives molecules across a membrane from a region of lower concentration to a region of higher concentration. this process, shown in figure 5.1, uses transport proteins powered by chemi- cal energy.
