  1. Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy. During photosynthesis in green plants, light energy is captured and used to convert water, carbon dioxide, and minerals into oxygen and energy-rich organic compounds.

  2. Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis Definition. Photosynthesis is the biochemical pathway which converts the energy of light into the bonds of glucose molecules. The process of photosynthesis occurs in two steps. In the first step, energy from light is stored in the bonds of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH).

  3. Photosynthesis

    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 metabolism. Photosynthesis usually refers to oxygenic photosynthesis, a process that produces oxygen.

  4. Intro to photosynthesis (article)

    Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars. In a process driven by light energy, glucose molecules (or other sugars) are constructed from water and carbon dioxide, and oxygen is released as a byproduct. The glucose molecules provide organisms with two crucial resources: energy and ...

  5. Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

  6. Photosynthesis

    Ans. Photosynthesis is an energy-requiring process occurring only in green plants, algae, and certain bacteria that utilizes carbon dioxide and water to produce food in the form of carbohydrates. In contrast, cellular respiration is an energy-releasing process found in all living organisms where oxygen and glucose are utilized to produce carbon ...

  7. Photosynthesis

    Biology Definition: Photosynthesis is the synthesis of complex organic material using carbon dioxide, water, inorganic salts, and light energy (from sunlight) captured by light-absorbing pigments, such as chlorophyll and other accessory pigments.

  8. Photosynthesis, Chloroplast

    The sun is the ultimate source of energy for virtually all organisms. Photosynthetic cells are able to use solar energy to synthesize energy-rich food molecules and to produce oxygen.

  9. Explainer: How photosynthesis works

    Photosynthesis is the process of creating sugar and oxygen from carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. It happens through a long series of chemical reactions. But it can be summarized like this: Carbon dioxide, water and light go in. Glucose, water and oxygen come out. (Glucose is a simple sugar.) Photosynthesis can be split into two processes.

  10. Photosynthesis in organisms (article)

    Plants, algae, and some unicellular organisms do photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is powered by energy from sunlight. This energy is used to rearrange atoms in carbon dioxide and water to make oxygen and sugars. Carbon dioxide and water are inputs of photosynthesis. These inputs come from the environment.

  11. Photosynthesis review (article)

    Meaning. Photosynthesis. The process by which plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy to chemical energy in the form of sugars. Photoautotroph. An organism that produces its own food using light energy (like plants) ATP. Adenosine triphosphate, the primary energy carrier in living things. Chloroplast.

  12. Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis definition states that the process exclusively takes place in the chloroplasts through photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene and xanthophyll. All green plants and a few other autotrophic organisms utilize photosynthesis to synthesize nutrients by using carbon dioxide, water and sunlight. The by-product of the photosynthesis process is oxygen.Let ...

  13. Photosynthesis

    photosynthesis. The chemical process by which green plants synthesize organic compounds from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of sunlight. It occurs in the chloroplasts (most of which are in the leaves) and there are two principal types of reactions. In the light-dependent reactions, which require the presence of light, energy from ...

  14. Photosynthesis: Definition, Reaction, Equation And Significance

    Photosynthesis is the process used by plants to convert sunlight into chemical energy that can be used to fuel the plants' growth. The process is fueled by the sun and powered by the chloroplasts in the plants' leaves. The process begins with the sun's light energy breaking down water molecules into oxygen and hydrogen.

  15. What is photosynthesis?

    Photosynthesis is the process plants, algae and some bacteria use to turn sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into sugar and oxygen.

  16. Explain Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis Definition. The word photosynthesis literally breaks down into "photo," Greek for "light," and "synthesis," a Greek word meaning "composition" or putting together. So, photosynthesis actually means to put together using light. Plants, algae and plant-like protists use sunlight to put together carbon dioxide and water to make sugar.

  17. 11.2 Light and Photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis is the process on which photoautotrophs rely to capture that light energy and to produce carbon-based organic molecules. The carbon used to make these molecules comes from the carbon dioxide (CO 2) in the atmosphere.

  18. photosynthesis

    Photosynthesis is the process in which green plants use sunlight to make their own food. Photosynthesis is necessary for life on Earth. Without it there would be no green plants, and without green plants there would be no animals. Interactive

  20. Photosynthesize Definition & Meaning

    The meaning of PHOTOSYNTHESIS is synthesis of chemical compounds with the aid of radiant energy and especially light; especially : formation of carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and a source of hydrogen (such as water) in the chlorophyll-containing cells (as of green plants) exposed to light.
