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)
