Photosynthesis: Pathway of Carbon Fixation
Photosynthesis is the synthesis of organic molecules using the energy of light. For the sugar glucose (one of the most abundant products of photosynthesis) the equation is: ...

photosynthesis - use of light to carry out reductive biochemical processes necessary for life. Pigments capture light energy in much the same way as an antenna captures a radio or tv signal. This drives biochemical reactions.

photosynthesis -- biochemical process in which light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll, and is used to fuel the building of sugar molecules.
phycocyanin -- blue, water-soluble pigment found in the cyanobacteria and the red algae.

Photosynthesis:
carbon and nitrogen atoms in atmospheric CO2 and N2 are in an oxidized and inert state; to make them more reactive they have to be given a larger number of electrons.

photosynthesis
[Gk. photos, light + syn, together + tithenai, to place]
The conversion of light energy to chemical energy that is stored in glucose or other organic compounds; occurs in plants, algae, and certain prokaryotes.

photosynthesis The biochemical process by which green plants and some bacteria capture light energy and use it to produce chemical bonds. Carbon dioxide and water are consumed while oxygen and simple sugars are produced.
