Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose, using carbon dioxide and water as raw materials. This process is essential for life on Earth as it provides oxygen and organic compounds that serve as food for most living organisms. It also involves a series of redox reactions where water is oxidized and carbon dioxide is reduced, connecting to the principles of thermodynamics by transforming solar energy into chemical energy.
congrats on reading the definition of photosynthesis. now let's actually learn it.
