# Photosynthesis Knowledge as (Subject, Predicate, Object) Triples

## Basic Definition
- (Photosynthesis, is, biological process)
- (Photosynthesis, converts, light energy)
- (Light energy, into, chemical energy)
- (Chemical energy, stored in, glucose)

## Organisms
- (Plants, perform, photosynthesis)
- (Algae, perform, photosynthesis)
- (Cyanobacteria, perform, photosynthesis)
- (These organisms, called, autotrophs)
- (These organisms, called, producers)

## Location
- (Photosynthesis, occurs in, chloroplasts)
- (Chloroplasts, found in, plant cells)
- (Chloroplasts, contain, chlorophyll)
- (Chlorophyll, is, green pigment)
- (Chlorophyll, absorbs, light energy)

- (Photosynthesis, requires, water)
- (Photosynthesis, requires, light energy)
- (Plants, absorb, carbon dioxide)
- (Carbon dioxide, enters through, stomata)
