Question

What does the plant do with the matter it takes in during photosynthesis?

Answer 1

Answer:

Plant uses what it takes in to manufacture food and energy for itself.

Explanation:

Plant basically takes in water and carbon dioxide. This is in the presence of sunlight as catalyst. And the presence of a colour pigment in the leaf - chloroplast, which houses the chlorophyll.

The process by which plant combine all of the above to arrive at its own food is simply referred to as Photosynthesis.

Through photosynthesis, plant manufacture its own food, which is majorly glucose, and also releases Oxygen as a by-product. The glucose this produced represent one of the simplest unit of carbohydrates. Thus, a direct source of energy is generated which ensure plants can conveniently meets its individual component parts need like - growth, reproduction, excretion, react to stimuli and so on.

Answer 2

Answer:

The matter taken in by plants during photosynthesis includes water, light and CO2 and it uses them to produce carbohydrate( used for plant energy) and oxygen ( as by-product).

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process by which carbohydrates or sugars are manufactured in the green plants containing chlorophyll by combination of carbon( IV) oxide and water with the aid of radiant energy of sunlight while oxygen is given out as a by- product.

These matters taken in by the plant are factors which affect the process of photosynthesis and they include:

- light intensity: the rate of photosynthesis increases with moderately high light intensity while the rate is decreased with low light intensity.

-carbon( IV) oxide: The more the CO2 in the photosynthetic cells the faster the rate of photosynthesis.

- water: this is also an essential raw material for photosynthesis.
