The process of oxidation of organic substances to carbon dioxide and water with the release of energy occurs in …

This process is called photosynthesis. It takes place in chloroplasts. But it is not carbon dioxide that is released, but oxygen during the reaction. The source of energy is glucose, due to which photosynthesis occurs. This biochemical process is only possible under the influence of sunlight. “Photo” is translated as light. In addition to glucose and oxygen, chlorophyll pigment is released. It has a green color, which gives the plant its color. If you remove the plant in the dark, then the process of photosynthesis will not occur and the foliage will turn yellow or white.
