Respiration

Explanation:

Photosynthesis, occurs in the chloroplasts of plants. Here, solar  energy is converted into chemical energy in the form of stable carbohydrates.

             6 CO2 + 6 H2O + light  →  C6H12O6 + 6 O2

Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light       Glucose + Oxygen

Chloroplasts, are small membrane-bound organelles of multi-folded membranes containing pigments, enzymes, and other molecules that facilitate the process.

Nutrients for a number of metabolic processes are basic compounds and macromolecules available. Through processing organic matter such as lipids, fats and proteins, animals get energy in heterotrophic nutrition.

For one for all metabolic processes, animals use carbohydrates as food. This occurs in the mitochondria...

C6H12O6+ 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + ≅38 ATP

Glucose + Oxygen  Carbon Dioxide + Water + Light

the food storage products of chrysophytes are oils or the polysaccharide laminarin.   formerly classified as plants, the chrysophytes contain the photosynthetic pigments chlorophyll a and c all but the yellow-green algae also contain the carotenoid pigment fucoxanthin.
