Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, some bacteria and some protistans use the energy from sunlight to produce glucose from carbon dioxide and water. This glucose can be converted into pyruvate which releases adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by cellular respiration. Oxygen is also formed.
These are the "Light Phase Reactions" of photosynthesis, which produce two high energy chemical products, namely NADPH and ATP. ... And in the end, the plants have utilized the energy of sunlight to produce glucose (and ultimately other carbohydrates, proteins and fats) and oxygen from water and carbon dioxide.
