👉 Photosynthesis is a process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This conversion occurs through the use of chlorophyll pigments in the leaves of the plant to capture sunlight, which is then used to split water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen ions (H+), using the enzyme chlorophyll a. The process involves several steps: 1. Light absorption: Plants absorb light energy from the sun, converting it into chemical energy that they
