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 green plants get their food as the Chlorophyll in their leaves turn Carbon Dioxide into energy and give off oxygen and water. Not sure what scientific term is used for energy not directly used, but think one thing it is called is sugar syrup.

The ability of plants to change sunlight to energy thru absorption into the chlorophyll reacting with carbon dioxide and water releasing oxygen as a by product
