This is the overall reaction of photosynthesis. This reaction takes place in two phases named light-dependent (light reaction) and light-independent (dark reaction) reactions.

For photosynthesis, one photon is all it takes. Only a single particle of light is required to spark the first steps of the biological process that converts light into chemical energy, scientists ...
