👉 Metapectus is a scientific term used to describe the process of photosynthesis. It refers to the process by which plants convert light energy into chemical energy, or rather, the energy that plants use to grow and produce food. This conversion occurs in the chloroplasts inside the plant cells, where green pigments called chlorophyll are produced. Chlorophyll is a green pigment that absorbs sunlight, converting it into energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) and N
