question: Describe the process of photosynthesis to a high school student in no more than 5 sentences, using the first word "Alice" in the second sentence, and include the term "chlorophyll" at least twice in your explanation.
answer: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy stored in glucose. Alice learns that this process primarily occurs in the chloroplasts of plant cells, where chlorophyll, the green pigment, plays a crucial role. Chlorophyll absorbs sunlight, which provides the energy needed to split water molecules into oxygen, protons, and electrons. This energy also helps convert carbon dioxide and the electrons into glucose, which plants use for growth and energy. Without chlorophyll, plants wouldn't be able to capture sunlight and perform photosynthesis effectively.
