The energy source of photosynthesis is the sun, the exclusive and central star of our planetary system. In photosynthesis the solar energy is converted into chemical energy, the energy of the chemical bonds of the generated glucose molecules (and of the liberated molecular oxygen). The energy of glucose is then stored as starch (that is, a glucose polymer) or it is employed in the cellular respiration procedure and transmitted to ATP molecules. ATP is consumed in the metabolic processes which spend energy (for case in point, in active transport across membranes).
