The factors essential for photosynthesis are ______
Solution:  
Concept:
Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create their own food (glucose) and release oxygen.
Explanation:
To perform photosynthesis, plants need specific ingredients. These are:
1. Carbon Dioxide (CO2CO_2): Plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through tiny pores in their leaves called stomata.
2. Water (H2OH_2O): Water is absorbed from the soil by the roots and transported to the leaves.
3. Chlorophyll: This is a green pigment found in chloroplasts within plant cells. Chlorophyll's main job is to capture light energy from the sun.
4. Sunlight: This provides the energy needed to drive the entire process.
The overall chemical reaction for photosynthesis is:
6CO2+6H2OLight Energy, ChlorophyllC6H12O6+6O26CO_{2} + 6H_{2}O \xrightarrow{\text{Light Energy, Chlorophyll}} C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} + 6O_{2}
Here, CO2CO_2 is carbon dioxide, H2OH_2O is water, C6H12O6C_{6}H_{12}O_{6} is glucose (the plant's food), and O2O_2 is oxygen.
Therefore, the essential factors for photosynthesis are Carbon Dioxide, Water, Chlorophyll, and Sunlight.
Answer:
B. CO2,H2O,Chlorophyll,Sunlight.CO_2, H_2O, \text{Chlorophyll}, \text{Sunlight}.
