During photosynthesis, chlorophyll absorb light energy that is used to convert carbon dioxide from the air and water from the soil into glucose. Oxygen is released as a by-product. Some glucose is used for respiration, while some is converted into insoluble starch.

In photosynthesis, plants use carbon from carbon dioxide to make sugar, which is also known as glucose,

and other organic molecules too.
