During the stage of photosynthesis referred to as the light-dependent reaction, 12 molecules of water begin the process of reacting with six molecules of carbon dioxide to produce one molecule of glucose, six molecules of oxygen and six molecules of water.
The metabolic process of photosynthesis traps energy from sunlight to convert inorganic carbon dioxide to organic, carbon-based simple sugars such as glucose. Cellular respiration converts the glucose produced by photosynthesis into the chemical energy, ATP. Photosynthetic plants, specific photosynthetic protists, and bacteria produce glucose by photosynthesis and then metabolize the glucose by cellular respiration. Examples include plants, seaweed, and cyanobacteria
