Four things are needed for photosynthesis:
Travels up from the roots
WATER
CARBON DIOXIDE
Enters the leaf through small holes on the underneath
SUNLIGHT
Gives the plant energy CHLOROPHYLL
The green stuff where the chemical reactions happen

Almost all plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, as are some bacteria and protists
Autotrophs generate their own organic matter through photosynthesisSunlight energy is transformed to energy stored in the form of chemical bonds

- Traps light energy and transfers the light-excited electrons to an electron transport chain.
- Those excited electrons are replaced by splitting a molecule of water, which releases oxygen.
- The electron transport chain releases energy, which is used to make ATP
Photosystem II
- Produces NADPH by transferring excited electrons and hydrogen ions to NADP+.
