Definition
- Absorption of light energy along with Carbon Dioxide and Water under the presence of Chlorophyll.
- Conversion of light energy into chemical and water and splitting of water molecules into Hydrogen and Oxygen.
- Reduction of Carbon Dioxide into Carbohydrates.
Misconception
Upto the 20th century, we thought that the oxygen we breathe comes from the Carbon Dioxide that the autotrophs take, but no, it is obtained from the water molecules.
