AP BIOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -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-2: -Photosynthesis is the process by which light energy is converted to chemical energy whereby carbon dioxide and water are converted into organic molecules. The process occurs in almost all algae, and in fact much of what is known about photosynthesis was first discovered by studying the green alga Chlorella.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is the biochemical process by which plants, algae and certain bacteria can convert the sun’s energy into chemical energy in the form of carbohydrates.

Detailed explanation-4: -During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.
