Photosynthesis is the process by which plants use sunlight (light energy) to drive a chemical reaction that eventually results in a carbohydrate and some oxygen. Let's look at the term "photosynthesis." The first section, "photo," is the English form of a Greek word meaning light, "phos." "Synthesis" is the creation or generation of a product; in this case, a carbohydrate and oxygen. So, the word photosynthesis means "using light to make something."
Who discovered photosynthesis?
In old days, from the days of Aristotle to 17th century, it was believed that plants grow spontaneously. Then van Helmont proposed that water is necessary for the plant growth (1648). This may be the first turning point in the field of photosynthesis study. Subsequently, Mariotte (1679) and Hales (1727) discovered plants absorb carbon dioxide. Next, the famous experiment of Priestley (1771) came: he demonstrated that plants evolve oxygen which is necessary for animal to breathe. Ingen-Housz (1779) and Senebier (1788) found that the evolution of oxygen requires light energy. Even nowadays, the absorption of carbon dioxide and evolution of oxygen are still used as an efficient way for the detection of photosynthetic activity. In late 19th century, Sachs and his disciple, Pfeffer, found the final product of photosynthesis is starch, and integrate the results of past studies to form the concept of "photosynthetic assimilation". Thus, the most simple description of photosynthesis is:
6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 +6O2
Charles Barnes, in 1893, first Proposed that the biological process of 'synthesis of complex carbon compounds out of carbonic acid, in presence of chlorophyll, under the influence of light' should be designated as 'Photosyntax' or 'Photosynthesis'.
Though he personally preferred the term 'Photosyntax', but Photosynthesis came into use as a common term of choice.
The word photosynthesis is come from greek(photo means light and sythesis means placing with)
Chlorophyll, carotenoids, phycobilins and xanthophylls are the pigments involved in photosynthesis .Chlorophyll is the name used for several related pigments found in plants, they are used in photosynthesis.

The cells found in producers are capable of photosynthesis as in case of green plants. The consumer cells lack the capacity of photosynthesis as in case of animals and paracites.
the other name of photosynthesis is reverse osmosis
chlorophyll
photosynthesis is found in chloroplasts.

Chloroplasts are the organelle in which photosynthesis takes place and it is only found in plant cells.
ABBA. Also U2 do not do photosynthesis.
There is no information found on a person or place by the name of Joko Sukarno Tjandra. There is a person found by the name of Djoko Tjandra and another by the name of Joko Soegiarto Tjandra.
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants make glucose to store energy. Obviously, glucose is found in a process in which glucose is made.
