Plants need sugar to meet their energy needs. Summarize in your own words how carbon dioxide molecules and energy from light-dependent reactions are used to make the sugar molecules.

Photosynthesis is a multi-step process that requires daylight, carbon dioxide, and water as substrates. It produces oxygen and glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P or GA3P), basic starch atoms that are high in vitality and can, therefore, be changed over into glucose, sucrose, or other sugar particles.
