Sunlight activates their chloroplastic structures, and they use the photons from the sun’s gamma rays to split the carbon from the oxygen in carbon dioxide. It is a mysterious process; we still don’t quite know how photosynthesis works, but the photons

Sunlight activates their chloroplastic structures, and they use the photons from the sun’s gamma rays to split the carbon from the oxygen in carbon dioxide. It is a mysterious process; we still don’t quite know how photosynthesis works, but the photons must be concentrated or magnified like a laser, so that they can split a tightly bonded molecule.
