Photosynthesis is a process by which plants and other organisms, such as algae, convert solar energy into chemical energy and use it to produce organic molecules. Photosynthesis is the main source of energy in the biosphere.

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organism activities.
