    Photosynthesis occurs in three steps: chlorophyll absorbs light energy, water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using this light energy, and carbon dioxide is reduced by hydrogen to form glucose using the chemical energy. Desert plants open their stomata at night to take up carbon dioxide and prepare an intermediate compound that is later acted on by energy from chlorophyll during the day to complete photosynthesis.

    EVENTS DURING PHOTOSYNTHESIS

    Photosynthesis takes place in the following three steps


    ● Absorption of light energy by chlorophyll.
    ● Conversion of light energy into chemical energy, and splitting of water into
    hydrogen and oxygen by light energy.
    ● Reduction of carbon dioxide by hydrogen to form carbohydrates like
    glucose by utilising the chemical energy.
    MECHANISM OF PHOTOSYNTHESIS IN DESERT PLANTS

    Desert plants open stomata at night

    take up carbon dioxide

    prepare an intermediate compound [and stored]

    which is acted upon by the energy absorbed by the chlorophyll during the
    day.
