Energy captured during the ""photo"" part of photosynthesis is stored in covalent bond during the ""synthesis"" part of the process.
Explanation:
When carbon dioxide, water and sunlight are combindly processed by Plants, algae and a set of bacteria called cyanobacteria to become photoautotrophs, then the process goes is named as Photosynthesis. It generates oxygen, Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate (G3P), common high-energy carbohydrate molecules which result into glucose, sucrose or other sugar molecules which comprises covalent energy-saving bonds.
Thus the species breakdown these molecules to exhibit energy for cellular functioning. In light-dependent processes, chlorophyll absorbs the radiation from the sunlight and converts it into chemical energy in the form of electron carrier derivatives such as ATP and NADPH. Carbohydrate molecules are constructed from carbon dioxide in light-independent processes i.e in the Calvin cycle, using the chemical energy obtained throughout the light-dependent processes.
