Photosynthesis The second article was about photosynthesis and discusses organisms that use this process. Photosynthesis is the process in which plant cells take sunlight and carbon dioxide and synthesize glucose. This process occurs in plants, algae, and some prokaryotes and protists. Many organisms can make their own food and are called autotrophs. Autotrophs can also be separated into two sets of organisms; chemoautotrophs and phototrophs. Phototrophs retain energy from sunlight while chemoautotrophs get their energy …showed first 75 words of 291 total…

The dark reaction takes place in the stroma of the chloroplast. In addition, unlike the light reaction, the dark reaction is not dependent on light. In conclusion, the process of photosynthesis is a major fuel of all life in some way. It provides food requirements from many organisms. Without photosynthesis life would not continue.
