During the process of photosynthesis, cells use carbon dioxide and energy from the Sun to make sugar molecules and oxygen. Then, via respiration processes, cells use oxygen and glucose to synthesize energy-rich carrier molecules, such as ATP, and carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some Protestantism use the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. This glucose can be converted into pyruvate which releases adenine phosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. Oxygen is also formed.
Photosynthesis can happen in plants because they have chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is the pigment that makes plants green. Chlorophyll captures the Sun's energy and uses it to make sugars out of carbon dioxide from the air and water. The sugars fuel a plant's roots, stems, and leaves so the plant can grow.
