- Photosynthesis is the conversion of light energy into chemical energy by plants and other creatures, which is then released to power the organism's activities via cellular respiration.
- Carbohydrate molecules like sugars and starches, which are formed from carbon dioxide and water, store this chemical energy.
- Photosynthesis is derived from the Greek words phs (light) and synthesis (v), both of which signify "coming together."
- Most of the time, oxygen is also emitted as a waste product. Plants, algae, and cyanobacteria are all photoautotrophs that perform photosynthesis.
- Photosynthesis produces and maintains the oxygen level in the Earth's atmosphere, as well as the bulk of the energy necessary for life on the planet.
