Photosynthesis is a complex process in which green plants and other organisms, mostly algae, transform light energy into chemical energy. In order for photosynthesis to occur, chlorophyll, a major pigment, and four accessory pigments must be present. Pigments A pigment is a molecule that absorbs certain energy, or wavelengths, of light and reflects all others.
A: Plants need photosynthesis because the process fuels them with the energy that they require to survive. Plants create energy through photosynthesis by absorbing sunlight and converting it into sugar, lipids, proteins and other organic compounds. These compounds are forms of chemical energy and are fundamental for sustained growth and survival.
