Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars.
Detailed explanation-2: -The process is carried out by plants, algae, and some types of bacteria, which capture energy from sunlight to produce oxygen (O2) and chemical energy stored in glucose (a sugar).
Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is a series of chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen in the presence of sunlight.
Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. In the light-dependent reactions, which take place at the thylakoid membrane, chlorophyll absorbs energy from sunlight and then converts it into chemical energy with the use of water.
