Answer: Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is a metabolic process in which light (radiant energy) is transformed into stable chemical energy, converting inorganic matter into organic matter.

This process is carried out by living beings that are mostly made up of chlorophyll (a green pigment), such as plants and algae. In addition, it allows to fix carbon dioxide (
CO_(2)) from the atmosphere and release oxygen (
O_(2)), which is why the existence of trees on Earth is of great importance.
