Photosynthesis is the process in which the leaves of a plant prepare hte food for hte entire plant, by absorbing sunlight and utilising the water from the soil, through the roots. The resultant food is called chlorophyl, which gives the green colour to the leaves

Photosynthesis (photo=light, synthesis=putting together), generally, is the synthesis of sugar from light, carbon dioxide and water, with oxygen as a waste product. It is arguably the most important biochemical pathway known; nearly all life depends on it. It is an extremely complex process, comprised of many coordinated biochemical reactions. It occurs in higher plants, algae, some bacteria, and some protists, organisms collectively referred to as photoautotrophs. This article summarizes some of the major aspects of the process and provides links to more detailed articles explaining the numerous technical details, and implications, involved.

Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants, in the presence of chlorophyll(green pigment present in green leaves) and sunlight,make use of carbon dioxide and water to manufacture the plant food called starch(high amount of carbohydrates or glucose).
During this process oxygen is released by plants.This process takes place only during the day time,due to the presence of sunlight.

Photosynthesis (photo=light, synthesis=putting together),
All organisms use energy to carry out the functions of life. Some organisms obtain this energy directly from sunlight. They capture part of the energy in light and store it within organic compounds. The process by which this energy transfer takes place is called PHOTOSYNTHESIS

The process of using energy in sunlight to convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and oxygen.
The process by which green plants make carbohydrates such as sugar, using water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight.
The process by which plants convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates, using sunlight as the source of energy and the aid of chlorophyll.
Formation of carbohydrates in the chlorophyll-containing tissues of plants exposed to light.

Its the way plants make glucose(sugar)
The equation for it is-
Water+Carbon Dioxide+Sun=Glocose
Or
H20 + CO2 + Sun=CO6H12O6 + O2

it is where the plants give out oxygen to the human being where the one who recieves the oxygen will respiration and give out carbon dioxide to the plants and this process will just go over and over again

ots a process where plants prepare food with the help of pigments which are present inside inside plant.
