What does the process of photosynthesis involve?

The process of photosynthesis involves the conversion of light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose. It is a process that occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria, and requires carbon dioxide, water, and light energy to produce oxygen and carbohydrates. Photosynthesis begins with the absorption of light energy by pigment molecules in the leaves, which is then converted into a form of energy that the plant can use. From there, the energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, releasing oxygen in the process.
