Photosynthesis is a complex biochemical process used by plants, algae, and some bacteria to convert light energy from the sun into chemical energy in the form of glucose. The primary products of photosynthesis include glucose (a simple sugar carbohydrate), as well as oxygen (a waste product of the process). These products are essential for sustaining life on earth, as oxygen is necessary for respiration in animal cells, while glucose serves as an essential source of energy for both plants and animals. Ultimately, photosynthesis provides the foundation for the entire food chain by producing organic matter upon which all other life depends.
