Question

What is Photosynthesis again? Thanks.

Answer 1

Answer:

photosynthesis, 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.

Answer 2

Answer:

Photosynthesis, a specialized case of autotrophy

Photosynthesis is a special case of autotrophy in that it exploits light as its source of energy. Photosynthesis can be aerobic (oxygenic), where water is used as a source of electrons and thus oxygen is produced as a by-product.
