- Photosynthesis is a process through which plants and other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy, which is subsequently released to fuel the organism's activities via cellular respiration.
- Some of this chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules like sugars and starches, which are formed of carbon dioxide and water.
- With three times the chemical energy of carbohydrates, oxygen is usually released as a waste product.
- Photoautotrophs are photosynthesizing organisms such as plants, algae, and cyanobacteria.
- Photosynthesis produces and maintains the oxygen level in the Earth's atmosphere, as well as providing the bulk of the energy needed for life on the planet.
