This overview focuses on the essential processes of photosynthesis, highlighting energy capture, carbon fixation, and the role of various photosystems. The interplay between light and dark reactions is explored, detailing the mechanisms by which autotrophs convert sunlight into chemical energy. Key components such as chlorophyll, ATP, and various biochemical pathways, including the Calvin Cycle, are discussed. Additionally, we examine the different plant types involved in these processes, emphasizing adaptations in carbon fixation and the significance of these reactions for life on Earth.
