- Photosynthesis is a process in which plants and other organisms convert 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 carbon dioxide and water-based carbohydrate molecules like sugars and starches.
- The majority of the time, oxygen is discarded as a waste product, despite the fact that it contains three times the chemical energy of carbohydrates.
- Most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria do photosynthesis; these organisms are known as photoautotrophs.
- Photosynthesis produces and maintains the oxygen concentration of the Earth's atmosphere, as well as providing the bulk of the energy needed for life on the planet.
