When we introduce this plant to the light, photosynthesis will start to occur.
-
Without photosynthesis we cannot get life.
-
If you like photosynthesis, then you should love trees.
-
The tree also uses the process of photosynthesis, which we talked about earlier.
-
Trees absorb carbon dioxide, use photosynthesis to split it up, store the carbon, and release the oxygen.
-
Carbon dioxide affects both the process of photosynthesis and plant leaf resistance to water vapor loss.
Academic text (1995) -
Photosynthesis - the process by which carbohydrates are formed in the chlorophyll contained in tissues of plants exposed to sunlight.
-
"More CO2 leads to increased productivity," Rammig explains, "because of increased carbon assimilation through photosynthesis."
Academic text (2011) -

Etymology
Photosynthesis breaks into the parts photo- meaning 'light' and synthesis meaning 'putting together'. So it literally means 'putting together with light', which helps you remember that plants use sunlight to make their food.
