PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Photosynthesis: the jamming together of CO2 (carbon dioxide) with H2O (water) to make CH2O (sugar) and O2 (oxygen), using the sun's energy. The sugar contains the stored energy and serves as the raw material from which other compounds are made
Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight into chemical energy
