How Does Photosynthesis Process Happen ?
Photosynthesis is a syntesis process of food to be an energy source in green plant (a
chrolofiled plant). In Biology dictionary, Photosynthesis can be difinite as a process of
making food that happen in the leaf, which done by the chlorophyll and helped by the
sun light. There are some factors which influence the photosynthesis process, such as :
light, chlorophyll, temperature, carbondioxide, and water. Do you know,
how does photosynthesis happen ?
Water (H2O) and carbondioxide (CO2) are very importent as a raw material during the
photosynthesis process. Water can be found in the bottom of the soil by using root of the
plant, the root will seperate and enlarge to absorb water around. After that, vascular
xilem will bring the water from root, into the leaf. At that time also, carbondioxide will
absorb from the external air by the slits, they are stomata and lentisel.
Water and carbondioxide which have absorbed will colect in the palisade tissue and do
the photosynthesis process in the leaf. During the photosynthesis they are helped by sun
light which find in the green colored pigment (chrolophyll), the sun light will break water
molecule into oxigen and hidrogen. In one side the oxigen is released to the external air
and at the other side the oxigen is used by plant to breath, meanwhile the hidrogen mix
with the carbondioxide and form glucose which distributed by vascular floem into the
all body of plant.
So, photosynthesis is an important process that produce oxigen as an air which used by
living things to breath, and glucose as a energy source in plant.
