1. Sunlight activates chlorophyll; which leads to splitting of water molecule.
2. The hydrogen; released by splitting of water molecule is utilized for reduction of carbon dioxide to produce carbohydrates.
3. Oxygen is the byproduct of photosynthesis.
4. Carbohydrate is subsequently converted into starch and is stored in leaves and other storage parts.
5. The splitting of water molecules is part of the light reaction.
6. Other steps are part of the dark reaction during photosynthesis.
How do raw materials for photosynthesis become available to the plant?
Water comes from soil; through the xylem tissue in roots and stems.
Carbon dioxide comes in the leaves through stomata.
