metabolism - photosynthesis is the process of building food ( read amino acids) from simple molecules by capturing energy where as metabolism is the process by which cells break down these amino acids to extract the energy.

What science is photo synthesis?
Plant physiology is the science which deals with photosynthesis.
Define quantum yield of a photo chemical reaction?
In photochemical reaction we have photons that passed to the surface starting photochemical reaction - producing some electrons. quantum yield=produced electrons/passed photons.
What are differences between photo synthesis and cellular respiration?
They're opposites. (H2O + CO2 [+ sunlight]) -> sugars + O2) vrs (sugars + O2 = H2O + CO2)
What products are used in photo synthesis?
The substances that are used to initiate photosynthesis are called reactants. The end results are the products. 12 H2O + 6 CO2 -> 6 O2 + C6H12O6 + 6 H2O The left side are the reactants, the right the products. The reactants are water and carbon dioxide (along with sunlight) that yield the products, oxygen, glucose, and water.
What is a photosynthetic reaction in a plant cell transforming energy from sunlight into chemical energy?
Photosynthesis. In the process of photosynthesis, light energy is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The energy in the light is converted into the chemical energy in the glucose molecules.
What does photo means in photo synthesis?
Photo in photosynthesis means 'self' while synthesis means 'produce food'
What carries out photo synthesis?
plants
The process by which plants capture light energy and change it into food?
this process is called photosynthesis (photo-light, synthesis-to prepare).
What raw materials does photo synthesis require?
sunlight
How is solar energy transformed into plants?
By photo synthesis
What does the word synthesis refer to in photosynthesis?
Synthesis means to make/produce. In photosynthesis ("photo" refers the "photons" of the light energy that triggers the photo systems in photosynthesis) would be used in referring to the synthesis of glucose (sugar) molecules.
What is photo chemical reaction?
chemical reaction brought on by light ( latin: photo - light)
What is the photo-chemical reaction that takes place in the presence of sunlight and is responsible for providing food for everyone?
The photo-chemical reaction that takes place in the presence of sunlight and is the source of food for everyone is called photosynthesis.
Through photo synthesis plants convert these ingredients into what?
Glucose
What are The Two word word parts of photosynthesis?
Photo and synthesis
What is the importance of photorespiration?
Synthesis of glysine and serine,evolution of co2,synthesis of ammonia,protects plant from photo oxidation.
What is another name for light dependent reations of photosynthesis?
The exergonic reaction is a chemical reaction that releases energy (photosynthesis). The product of light dependant reactions is called endergonic reaction. It is a chemical reaction that requires energy.
