LS1.C: Organization for Matter and Energy Flow in Organisms
Plants, alga (including phytoplankton), and many microorganisms use the
energy from light to make sugars (food) from carbon dioxide from the
atmosphere and water through the process of photosynthesis, which also
releases oxygen. These sugars can be used immediately or store for
growth or later use.
