Photosynthesis
( \newcommand{\kernel}{\mathrm{null}\,}\)
Photosynthesis is a process that occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria. These photosynthetic organisms (called autotrophs)use the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into organic compounds, such as carbohydrates. An example of carbohydrates would be simple sugars such as glucose, mannose, or galactose.
