    Photosynthesis New

    Uploaded by

    Photosynthesis is the fundamental process by which plants, algae, and cyanobacteria use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy in the form of sugar. It occurs in two stages - the light-dependent reactions in which solar energy is captured to make ATP and NADPH using chlorophyll, and the light-independent reactions of the Calvin cycle in which carbon is incorporated into organic compounds like glucose using the ATP and NADPH produced in the light reactions. The sugars produced can then be used for cellular respiration, making cellulose, starch and other organic compounds essential for life.
