MCQ on Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

Photosynthesis is the biological process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (a form of sugar) and oxygen. This process occurs in chloroplasts and is essential to produce energy-rich molecules, supporting the growth and sustenance of life on Earth. This is article is on Photosynthesis in Higher Plants MCQ with answer key.
