- Plants and other creatures utilize photosynthesis to transform light energy into chemical energy, which is then released to power the organism's activities through cellular respiration.
- Carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars and starches, are created from carbon dioxide and water and store some of this chemical energy.
- Most of the time, oxygen is discharged as a waste product, storing three times the chemical energy of carbohydrates.
- Photosynthesis is carried out by most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria; these organisms are known as photoautotrophs.
- Photosynthesis is responsible for creating and maintaining the oxygen content of the Earth's atmosphere, as well as supplying the majority of the energy required for life on the planet.
