Hey there!

Photosynthesis is the reaction that converts light energy to chemical energy in sugar and carbohydrates. Humans can't eat sunligh, so we eat the plants. Plants convert the energy in the sunlight into chemical energy using chlorophyll. Chlorophyll is a molecule produced by plants, algae and cyanobacteria, which aids in the conversion of light energy into chemical bonds. It is the reen pigment found in the chlorookasts of higher plants. They are a part of our ecosystem, and they are lower on the food chain.

Hope this helps! I promise I did not copy or anything like that from the internet.

Have a great day! :)
