Concept explainers
To determine: The way in which a root cell obtains energy.
Introduction: Photosynthesis is a process by which carbon dioxide and water are used to produce glucose molecules by using energy from sunlight. The process of conversion of light energy to the chemical energy occurs in the two phases of reactions, the light-dependent reaction and carbon fixation reaction (dark reactions).
