Abstract

Photosynthesis, or building with light, involves the use of electromagnetic energy to bring about endergonic reactions. The concept is generally extended to the use of the more immediate photochemical products to reduce CO2 and (in most photosynthetic organisms) oxidize H2O and evolve O2, this extended definition is used here. This article deals with the partial processes of photosynthesis in the order in which they occur subsequent to initial photon absorption.
