The Purpose and Process of Photosynthesis
The process of photosynthesis converts light energy to chemical energy, which can be used by organisms for different metabolic processes.
Main Structures and Summary of Photosynthesis
In multicellular autotrophs, the main cellular structures that allow photosynthesis to take place include chloroplasts, thylakoids, and chlorophyll.
The Two Parts of Photosynthesis
Light-dependent and light-independent reactions are two successive reactions that occur during photosynthesis.
