Photosynthesis levels off after initially increasing, but respiration continues to increase.
What is photosynthesis?
In photosynthesis, phototrophs convert light energy into chemical energy. This chemical energy is later used to fuel cellular activities. The chemical energy created is stored in as sugars, which are created from water and carbon dioxide.
Photosynthesis takes place in the chloroplasts through photosynthetic pigments like chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene and xanthophyll.
All green plants and a few other autotrophs use carbon dioxide, water and sunlight and synthesize nutrients by utilizing photosynthesis. Oxygen is the by-product of the photosynthesis process.
