Detailed explanation-1: -In photosynthesis, solar energy is harvested and converted to chemical energy in the form of glucose using water and carbon dioxide.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the process of photosynthesis, light penetrates the cell and passes into the chloroplast. The light energy is intercepted by chlorophyll molecules on the granal stacks. Some of the light energy is converted to chemical energy. During this process, phosphate is added to a molecule to cause the formation of ATP.

Detailed explanation-3: -Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants and certain other organisms synthesise their own food i.e. transform sunlight energy into chemical energy with the help of chlorophyll, carbon dioxide and water.
