Photosynthesis reaction occurs in the presence of ............

Chlorophyll and Sunlight

The correct answer is Option (2)- Chlorophyll and Sunlight

Photosynthesis is a process that occurs in the presence of chlorophyll and sunlight.

The general chemical equation for photosynthesis is:

\(6CO_2 + 6H_2O \overset{\text{light energy}}{\longrightarrow} C_6H_{16}O_6 + 6O_2\)

               light energy

6CO₂+6H₂O→ C₆H₁₂O₆+6O₂

In this reaction, carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O) are converted into glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) and oxygen (O₂) in the presence of chlorophyll, which acts as a light-absorbing pigment. Sunlight provides the energy needed for this process, allowing plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert solar energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. Chlorophyll plays a crucial role in capturing light energy and initiating the series of chemical reactions that lead to the synthesis of glucose and the release of oxygen.
