Photosynthesis ( / ˌfoʊtəˈsɪnθəsɪs / FOH-tə-SINTH-ə-sis) [1] is a system of biological processes by which photosynthetic organisms, such as most plants, algae, and cyanobacteria, convert light energy, typically from sunlight, into the chemical energy necessary to fuel their activities.
An important concept in physical systems is that of order and disorder. The more energy that is lost by a system to its surroundings, the less ordered and more random the system is. Scientists refer to the measure of randomness or disorder within a system as entropy. High entropy means high disorder and low energy.

2.3 Thermochemical energy storage. Thermochemical energy storage is quite a new method and is under research and development phase at various levels (Prieto, Cooper, Fernández, & Cabeza, 2016 ). In this technique, the energy is stored and released in the form of a chemical reaction and is generally classified under the heat storage process.
CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O (3.9.1) (3.9.1) CH 4 + 2 O 2 → CO 2 + 2 H 2 O. The arrow in a chemical equation separates the reactants from the products and shows the direction in which the reaction proceeds. If the reaction could occur in the opposite direction as well, two arrows pointing in opposite directions would be used.
Reactions that have a negative change in free energy and consequently release free energy are called exergonic reactions. Think: ex ergonic means energy is ex iting the system. These reactions are also referred to as spontaneous reactions, and their products have less stored energy than the reactants.

Enthalpy of a reaction is defined as the heat energy change ( Δ H ) that takes place when reactants go to products. If heat is absorbed during the reaction, Δ H is positive; if heat is released, then Δ H is negative. ΔH value negative --> energy released --> exothermic reaction ΔH value positive --> energy absorbed --> endothermic reaction.
