• Sunlight is the main source of energy for Photosynthesis.​
• Only 1% of total sunlight falls on earth trapped by green plants.

​Important Points

• The gas which is taken in by the plants during photosynthesis - Carbon dioxide
• The gas which is given out  by the plants during photosynthesis - Oxygen
• The rate of photosynthesis is maximum - Red light
• The rate of photosynthesis is minimum - Green light
• The pigment in chloroplasts which gives green colour to the plants - Chlorophyll
• The only metal present in chlorophyll - Magnesium
• The pigment which gives a purple and blue colour to the flower of plants - Anthocyanin
• The pigment  which gives the yellow colour to the leaves, fruits, and flowers - Xanthophyll
