Today, the average rate of energy capture by photosynthesis globally is approximately 130 terawatts, which is about three times the current power consumption of human civilization. Photosynthetic organisms also convert around 100â115 thousand million metric tonnes of carbon into biomass per year.
Key content 1. photosynthesis is a cellular process through which organisms capture light energy from the sun and use it to generate and store energy. 2. cellular respiration releases stored energy in glucose, allowing the organism to function. 3. Light is required for photosynthesis to occur, although parts of photosynthesis can happen in the absence of light. 4. photosynthesis happens in the chloroplasts, which con-tain chlorophyll. 5.
