photosynthesis (usually uncountable, plural photosyntheses)
- (biochemistry, organic chemistry) Any process by which plants and other photoautotrophs convert light energy into chemical energy.
- principally, oxygenic photosynthesis, any process by which plants and algae convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and waste oxygen using solar energy.
2013 September-October, Katie L. Burke, “In the News”, in American Scientist:Oxygen levels on Earth skyrocketed 2.4 billion years ago, when cyanobacteria evolved photosynthesis: the ability to convert water and carbon dioxide into carbohydrates and waste oxygen using solar energy.
- also, non-oxygenic photosynthesis, used by purple and green bacteria, heliobacteria, and acidobacteria.
