Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy, usually from the sun, into chemical energy stored in glucose. This process occurs primarily in the chloroplasts of plant cells, using chlorophyll to capture light energy. During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and water from the soil are transformed into glucose and oxygen, the latter being released as a byproduct. This process is essential for life on Earth as it provides the primary source of energy for nearly all ecosystems and contributes to the oxygen content of the atmosphere.
