Summary Introduction
Photosynthesis is a chemical process, where the plants organically capture energy from the sunlight or fix the energy of the sun. The major product of the photosynthesis mechanism is carbohydrates, such as glucose, and oxygen. The oxygen molecules are released into the atmosphere.
