Plants need only light energy, CO2, and H2O to make sugar. The process of photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts, specifically using chlorophyll, the green pigment involved in photosynthesis. During photosynthesis light energy is converted into chemical energy. read more

Chlorophyll pigments within internal chloroplast membranes absorb photons. Chlorophyll electrons become excited and enter a series of reactions that generate an energy carrying molecule called ATP. Second step. Energy from breakdown of atp is used in carbon reaction to fix carbon dioxide into organic sugar molecules. read more
