Hey there!

Photosynthesis is the reaction that converts light energy to chemical energy in sugar and carbohydrates. Humans can't eat sunlight, so we eat plants. Plants convert the energy in the sunlight into chemical energy using chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a molecule produced by plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, which aids in the conversion of light energy into chemical bonds. It is the green pigment found in the chloroplasts of higher plants. They are a part of our ecosystem, and they are lower on the food chain.

Hope this helps!

Have a great day! :)
