Here's why:
* Plants: The most well-known examples of photosynthetic organisms. They use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to produce their food (sugars) and release oxygen as a byproduct.
* Algae: These are simple, aquatic organisms that come in many forms (from single-celled to large seaweed). They also use photosynthesis to produce their own food.
* Some bacteria: Certain types of bacteria, called cyanobacteria, are able to perform photosynthesis. They are often found in aquatic environments and contribute significantly to the oxygen in our atmosphere.
