: The Photosynthesis, process by which green plants and certain other organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose. In so doing, photosynthesis provides the basic energy source for virtually all organisms. An extremely important byproduct of photosynthesis is oxygen, on which most organisms depend.

- The Carbon dioxide and water are the two major factors involved in the photosynthesis reaction. It’s an endothermic reaction, and the products resulting from it are oxygen and glucose. The formula is:
- 6CO2 + 6H2O = C6H12O6 + 6O2
- Four types of photosynthetic pigments are present in the leaves of the plants. They are:
- 1. Chlorophyll a
- 2. chlorophyll b
- 3. xanthophylls
- 4. Carotenoids
- The photosynthesis process is very important for the survival of living beings, and to continue the food chain. It also produces oxygen, which is required for breathing.
