During photosynthesis, plants capture light energy from the Sun to break weak bonds in reactants, such as carbon dioxide and water, and form carbon-containing molecules, such as glucose. The carbon-containing molecules can then be used
It can be used to assemble larger molecules, such as DNA, proteins, and fats. The molecules can also then be used to give the plant energy. This is what happens during photosynthesis carbon dioxide and water are products in the process of cellular respiration
