In biology, the most important physiological process within the trophic chain is photosynthesis, since this process can supply, while sunlight is present, all the metabolic energy required by the plant to satisfy its needs through photorespiration and produce carbohydrate-based materials for plant growth, which later serve as food for the rest of living organisms.
▶ This biological process known as photosynthesis allows the formation of chemical compounds and energy carriers essential in all synthesis processes occurring in the organism NAD, FAD, ATP, etc.
Photosynthesis supplies small carbon chains to the entire biosynthetic machinery, elementary raw material in the construction of all those other compounds with essential functions for the maintenance of life, reproduction and survival.
Photosynthesis was the step that allowed all the further development of terrestrial life, since it managed for the first time to trap in a short time large amounts of energy (usable in metabolism), which is stored in organic form, and therefore available for multiple biological purposes.
Photosynthesis is one of the metabolic processes used by cells to obtain energy, it is a complex process by which living beings possessing chlorophyll and other pigments, capture light energy from the sun.
This energy captured from the sun is then transformed into chemical energy (ATP) and reducing compounds (NADPH), which transform water and CO2 into reduced organic compounds (glucose and others), releasing oxygen.
