Photosyntheis

Photosynthesis (from the Greek φώτο- [photo-], "light," and σύνθεσις [synthesis], "putting together", "composition") is a process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight.[1]

In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane.

Photosynthesis (from the Greek φώτο- [photo-], "light," and σύνθεσις [synthesis], "putting together", "composition") is a process that converts carbon dioxide into organic compounds, especially sugars, using the energy from sunlight.[1]

For example, the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called photosynthetic reaction centers that contain chlorophylls.

In plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a waste product.

In plants, these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts, while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane.

As well as maintaining the normal level of oxygen in the atmosphere, nearly all life either depends on it directly as a source of energy, or indirectly as the ultimate source of the energy in their food[2] (the exceptions are chemoautotrophs that live in rocks or around deep sea hydrothermal vents).
