Question: 1
Define photosynthesis.
Answer: 1
1-42
The process in which energy poor inorganic oxidized compounds of carbons and hydrogen are reduces to energy-rich carbohydrate using the light energy that is absorbed and converted into chemical energy by chlorophyll and some other photosynthetic pigments.

Answer: 21
21-42
In chloroplast photosynthetic pigments are organized into cluster called photosystem.Photosystem is the place in the thylakoid membrane where the chlorophyll molecules and accessory pigments are arranged in a specific way and form system called photosystem where the reaction of photosynthesis occur.
