Just something to add about the photosynthesis, When there is light that is captured by an organism, it is chemical bond energy. This bond needs to be broken by the cell. This is where the ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) and ADP (adenosine diphosphate) come in. When the chemical bond is released it gets captured by high energy phosphate bonds (~P). Then the ~P combines with ADP and forms ATP which is the source of energy for cellular work.

I am currently studying biology in school incase you were wondering why I knew this.
