 * Application
 * The food that we eat is either autotrophs or organisms that consume autotrophs. In order for autotrophs to survive they need to go through the process of photosynthesis. Sun energy is a major element needed in the beginning process of photosynthesis. The reactants need sunlight in order to be excited enough to make ATP and NADPH. ATP and NADPH are needed to make the sugar glucose. So autotrophs feed themselves, animals feed on the autotrophs, and we eat the animals. So the things that we eat trace back to sunlight

 * Synthesis:
 * During the 1960, Melvin Calvin, James Bassham, and Andrew Benson, discovered the Calvin cycle. Calvin and the other scientists where studying carbon reduction in photosynthesis when they came about finding the Calvin Cycle. The Calvin cycle is a series of biochemical reactions that take place in the stoma of chloroplasts in a photosynthetic organism. This process is a major part of photosynthesis and for this, Melvin and his colleagues won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

 * Evaluation:
 * As we all know deforestation is a major topic in our society today. Some believe that deforestation is causing our world to go through changes dealing with global warming. By looking at the process of photosynthesis we can realize that deforestation is causing global warming because of the photosynthesis process. Looking at what happens during photosynthesis shows us that when tree are being cut down the process of photosynthesis is being used less. This cause the energy to need to be exerted in different ways such as heat. The heat energy causes our earth to become warmer. If we don't cut down trees, plants will be able to get that energy from the extra photosynthesis and our planet won't become warmer.
