Solution

The raw materials required for photosynthesis are:

  1. Carbon Dioxide (CO2): This is taken from the atmosphere through the stomata - small openings on the undersides of leaves.

  2. Water (H2O): This is absorbed by the roots from the soil and transported to the leaves through the xylem vessels.

  3. Sunlight: This is absorbed by the chlorophyll, a green pigment present in the chloroplasts in the cells of the leaves.

  4. Chlorophyll: This is the green pigment present in the chloroplasts in the cells of the leaves. It absorbs sunlight and uses its energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.

  5. Minerals: Certain minerals like magnesium and nitrogen are also required for the synthesis of chlorophyll and other components involved in the process.
