organisms can harness the energy of light to build organic molecules from inorganic raw materials.

6H2O + 6CO2 ->light energy enzymes-> 6CO2 + 6H12O6

• an organelle that specializes in photosynthesis in plants and many protists.
• filled with two outer membranes called stroma's

semifluid matrix containing the cholorplast's DNA, some ribosomes, and an inner, much folded thyakoid membrane

the energy of light gets converted to the chemical bond energy of ATP
