organisms use the energy of light to convert carbon dioxide and water into the

simple sugar glucose. In so doing, photosynthesis provides the basic energy source

for almost all organisms. Oxygen is extremely important to photosynthesis, which

most organisms depend on. Photosynthesis occurs in green plants, seaweeds, algae,

and certain bacteria. Chlorophyll is capable of converting active light energy into a

form (glucose) that is stored in food. The initial phase of the process requires direct

light; water (H2O) is broken down into oxygen (which is released as a gas) and

hydrogen. Photosynthesis, in general, is the reverse of respiration, in which
