Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that, through cellular respiration, can later be released to fuel the organism's metabolic activities. This chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water – hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek phōs , "light", and sunthesis , "putting together".[1][2][3] In most cases, oxygen is also released as a waste product. Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis; such organisms are called photoautotrophs. Photosynthesis is largely responsible for producing and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, and supplies most of the energy necessary for life on Earth.[4]

There are two phases in photosynthesis

1: Light Phase(Biochemical phase)
In this phase the chlorophyll gets activated by the photons of light and the water molecule is splitted by the process of photolysis

2:Dark Phase(Biosynthetic Phase)
In this phase the glucose produced is converted into starch for storage and the process in plants for storage of starch by conversion of glucose is called polymerisation.
