The process by which green plants transform light energy into chemical energy.<\/p>\n
The process of converting light energy to chemical energy and storing it in the bonds of sugar; occurs in plants and some algae.<\/p>\n
The synthesis (production) of bioorganic compounds (molecules) using light energy as the power source. The synthesis of carbohydrates (hexose) occurs via a complicated, multistep process involving reactions that occur both in the light (light reactions) and in the dark (dark reactions). In eucaryotic cells the photosynthetic machinery necessary to capture light energy and subsequently utilize it is contained in structures called chloroplasts, which contain the molecule that initially captures light energy, called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll looks green. Green plants synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, which are used as a hydrogen source. The synthesis reaction, which is light-driven, liberates oxygen in the process. Other organisms use this oxygen to sustain life. Plants are not the only users of photosynthesis technology. Other organisms such as green sulfur bacteria and purple bacteria also carry out photosynthesis, but they use other compounds besides water as a hydrogen source.<\/p>\n
The process in which the energy of sunlight is used by organisms, especially green plants, to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, releasing oxygen as a by-product.<\/p>\n
The production of sugar from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll when exposed to light energy resulting in the release of oxygen.<\/p>\n
The process whereby plants convert CO2 and water into carbohydrates with the energy provided by ultraviolet light.<\/p>\n
The process by which plants manufacture carbohydrates and oxygen by combining carbon dioxide and water, using light energy in the presence of chlorophyll.<\/p>\n
