The synthesis by organisms of organic chemical compounds, especially carbohydrates,
from carbon dioxide using energy obtained from light rather than from the oxidation
of chemical compounds. Photosynthesis comprises two separate processes: the light
reactions and the dark reactions. In higher plants; GREEN ALGAE; and CYANOBACTERIA;
NADPH and ATP formed by the light reactions drive the dark reactions which result
in the fixation of carbon dioxide. (from Oxford Dictionary of Biochemistry and Molecular
Biology, 2001)
