Summary Introduction

To understand: The process of carbon dioxide molecules in photosynthesis reaching the chloroplast of leaves.

Introduction:

Photosynthetic cells are essential to the production of complex organic chemicals used by most living things for energy. Green plant cells, phytoplankton, and cyanobacterial cells are all examples of photosynthetic cells. Photosynthesis is the process by which cells convert CO2 in the presence of sunlight into sugar molecules and oxygen. The photosynthetic cell uses these simple sugars as building blocks to produce glucose and more complex compounds. Then, cells employ glucose and oxygen for the synthesis of energy-rich carrier molecules like ATP (adenosine triphosphate), while producing carbon dioxide as a waste product through respiration activities.
