CONDITIONS NECESSARY FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS
The various conditions for photo synthesis are:-
(i) Carbon dioxide
(ii) Water
(iii) Sunlight
(iv) Chlorophyll

STEPS FOR PHOTOSYNTHESIS
The process photosynthesis takes place in the following steps:-
- Absorption of sunlight by the chlorophyll present in the leaves of plants.
- Conversion of light energy into chemical energy and splitting of water molecule into H2and O2 by light energy.
- Reduction of CO2 by water to form carbohydrates
