Conditions necessary for photosynthesis

Principle

Examination under which conditions a plant is able to to form sugar and starch. Photosynthesis (assimilation of CO2) can be described as the ability of green plants to form organic carbon compounds from carbon dioxide and water with the aid of light energy. Sugar and starch are formed in this way via numerous intermediate stages. Photosynthesis is the most important biochemical process on earth as it supplies plants with the basic structural and energetic compounds without which life and growth would not be possible.
