(a) : Photosynthesis is an enzyme regulated anabolic process which involves the synthesis of organic compounds, inside the chlorophyll containing cells, from $\mathrm{CO}_{2}$ and $\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$ with the help of sunlight as a source of energy. Oxygen evolved during photosynthesis comes from water. The equation for photosynthesis can be summarised as follows: $$ 6 \mathrm{CO}_{2}+12 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \xrightarrow[	ext { Radiant energy }]{	ext { Chlorophyll }} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{12} \mathrm{O}_{6}+6 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}+6 \mathrm{O}_{2} \uparrow $$
