Lecture 9 - Photosynthesis
The ultimate source of energy for nearly all living systems on the earth is the sun. Photosynthesis is the process by which some organisms are capable of converting the sun’s light energy into chemical energy. These organisms satisfy not only their own energy needs but also the needs of most of the other organisms as well, which are incapable of carrying out photosynthesis.
