Photosynthesis is the most important anabolic process on earth by
which green plants (autotrophic organisms) synthesize complex carbohydrates
from simple substances like carbon dioxide and water with the help of light
energy and purify the atmospheric air by consuming carbon dioxide and evolving
oxygen. The process of photosynthesis can also be defined as the transformation
of photonic energy (i.e., light or radiant energy) into chemical energy (locked
in high energy bonds of carbohydrate molecules) by the green parts of the
plants. The mechanism studied for photosynthesis demonstrated the existence of
two phases: light (photochemical phase) and dark phase (biosynthetic phase). Read more>>
