All living organism needs energy to perform their different normal metabolic functions. Food is the source of energy of the living body. Photosynthesis is the process by which the chlorophyll-containing green plant and algae synthesizes glucose (carbohydrates) and evolves oxygen using CO2 of the air and water in the presence of sunlight. During the photosynthesis, … Read more
