Photosynthesis
Definition:
Photosynthesis is the manufacture of organic compounds, particularly carbohydrates, in the chlorophyll cells of plants from carbon dioxide, water, and enzymes in the presence of light as the energy source. This process releases oxygen and water vapor and is dependent on favorable temperature and moisture conditions as well as on adequate atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration.
