what is photosynthesis
Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy, normally from the Sun, into chemical energy that can be later released to fuel the organisms' activities.his chemical energy is stored in carbohydrate molecules, such as sugars, which are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water â hence the name photosynthesis, from the Greek Ïá¿¶Ï, phÅs, light, and ÏÏÎ½Î¸ÎµÏÎ¹Ï, synthesis, putting together.
