Many of these carbohydrates are produced by photosynthesis, the biochemical process by which phototrophic organisms convert solar energy (sunlight) into chemical energy. Although photosynthesis is most commonly associated with plants, microbial photosynthesis is also a significant supplier of chemical energy, fueling many diverse ecosystems.

It details how electrons from water create NADPH and generate ATP via photophosphorylation. Chloroplasts house thylakoid membranes with Photosystems I and II for light absorption and electron transfer, facilitating ATP synthesis through chemiosmosis.
