Introduction:

The conversion of sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water into food and oxygen is known as photosynthesis. This process is employed by algae, plants, and certain microorganisms. The two forms of photosynthetic processes are anoxygenic and oxygenic, respectively. Even though they both operate on very similar principles, oxygenic photosynthesis, which is found in plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, is the more prevalent process.
