Photosynthesis (photo=light, synthesis=putting together), generally, is the synthesis of glucose from sunlight, 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, phytoplankton, algae, some bacteria, and some protists, organisms collectively referred to as photoautotrophs

Do you mean photosynthesis? If you mean photosynthesis, it means the chemical process by which plants that contain chlorophyll, such as green plants, use to light to convert carbon dioxide and water to carbohydrates, releasing oxygen by a product. I learned that when i was 7 years old now that i'm 9.

It's spelled photosynthesis. and photosynthesis means: The process in green plants and certain other organisms by which carbohydrates are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water using light as an energy source. Most forms of photosynthesis release oxygen as a byproduct.

Well, biology was a long time ago, but I believe it's the process of changing CO2 to O2.

It is the process in which plants make their own food by using sunlight, chlorophyll, and water.

plants make their own food from sunlight and air. they eat the Carbondioxide, process it and release the Oxygen into the atmosphere

PHOTOSYNTHESIS means when plants gather energy to make food. it requires carbon dioxide, water, and sun.
