Photosynthesis
Term · Meteorology and atmospheric science · MLC-T-MET-007928
The biochemical process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy, typically in the form of glucose. This process uses carbon dioxide and water as raw materials and releases oxygen as a byproduct. Photosynthesis is a fundamental process that regulates atmospheric carbon dioxide and oxygen levels, directly influencing Earth's climate and atmospheric composition.
