Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and some bacteria use sunlight, water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen and energy in the form of glucose. The overall process involves the absorption of light by chlorophyll and other pigments in the leaves of plants, which energizes electrons and produces NADPH and ATP using a light-dependent reaction. A light-independent reaction then uses these products to fix carbon dioxide and produce glucose through reduction reactions.
