The raw materials of photosynthesis, water and carbon dioxide, enter the cells of the leaf, and the products of photosynthesis, sugar and oxygen, leave the leaf. Water enters the root and is transported up to the leaves through specialized plant cells known as xylem vessels.
Photosynthesis occurs in plants and in some algae. The process takes place in the chloroplasts, primarily in plant leaves. Carbon dioxide enters the leaves through the stomates by diffusion, and water is transported to the leaves in the xylem. The energy harvested through light reaction is stored by forming adenosine triphosphate, or ATP, a chemical compound used for energy storage.
