Definition
English
:
The synthesis by organisms of organic
chemical compounds
, especially
carbohydrates
, from
carbon dioxide
using energy obtained from light rather than from the
oxidation
of
chemical compounds
.
Photosynthesis
comprises two separate processes: the light reactions and the dark reactions. In higher
plants
; GREEN ALGAE; and
CYANOBACTERIA
; NADPH and ATP formed by the light reactions drive the dark reactions which result in the fixation of
carbon dioxide
. (from Oxford
Dictionary
of
Biochemistry
and
Molecular Biology
, 2001)
