Photosynthesis involves a pigment called chlorophyll which converts light energy into chemical energy. This chemical energy is stored as food. Photosynthesis occurs in green plants and some algal species. Plants need light energy, $C O_{2}$ and $H_{2} O$ to make sugar in the presence of chlorophyll.
