Photosynthesis is the process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar. O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, specifically using chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in photosynthesis.

The raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf. Cross section of a leaf, showing the anatomical features important to the study of photosynthesis: stoma, guard cell, mesophyll cells, and vein.

Photosynthesis, process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple. Photosynthesis is a metabolic pathway that converts light energy into chemical energy. Its initial substrates are carbon dioxide and water;

Animals are consumers; they cannot carry out photosynthesis. This means that they have to eat other things to get the carbohydrates, fats, proteins, vitamins and minerals which they need. All the carbon needed for photosynthesis comes from carbon dioxide.

Plants depend on photosynthesis to derive their energy sources. Through evolution, plant cells have acquired chlorophylls to help carry out the photosynthetic reaction. Photosynthesis is carried out in two steps, first in two light-dependent photosytems and then in a carbon fixation cycle (Calvin Cycle).

During photosynthesis, a process that occurs in plants and in cyanobacteria and also in purple photosynthetic bacteria, light energy is converted into chemical energy. It turns out that the overall reaction of photosynthesis takes place in two steps. In the first step, the oxygen in water is oxidized by the light energy:

The Calvin cycle (dark reactions), photophosphorylation (light reactions) and the evolution of photosynthesis. In land plants and green algae (chlorophytes), photosynthesis has two distinct stages, the light reactions, which convert light energy to ATP and NADPH;
