PHOTOSYNTHESIS the food-making process of plants, green algae, and many types of bacteria; in green plants, this process occurs inside the CHLOROPLASTS, where the sun's energy and water and carbon dioxide are converted into food and oxygen.
ORGANELLE structure within the cytoplasm in cells that breaks down food, moves waste, and stores materials.
