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 only occurs in plants and cellular respiration only occurs in animals.
Detailed explanation-3: -In plants and algae, which developed much later, photosynthesis occurs in a specialized intracellular organelle-the chloroplast. Chloroplasts perform photosynthesis during the daylight hours. The immediate products of photosynthesis, NADPH and ATP, are used by the photosynthetic cells to produce many organic molecules.
Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthesis is a process by which autotrophs make their own food using sunlight. Plants and other organisms which have the pigment chlorophyll are able to harness this energy and therefore make glucose.
