The term photosynthesis comes from the words "photo", which means light, and "synthese", which means synthesis. It is the process by which plants manufacture their food.

What photosynthesis mean gas that is released into the air as a by product of photosynthesis?
oxygen
What is it called when sunlight is transferred from the sun to plants?
Photosynthesis
Are the starting products of photosynthesis?
You might mean the reactants, the reactants for photosynthesis are 6CO2 + 6H2O+ light energy. The products from these reactants are Oxygen, Glucose. Photosynthesis: 6CO2+6H2O+light energy--->6O2+C6H12O6.
How do mushrooms occur photosynthesis?
Tricky question, but this question is false. Don't mean to make you confused, but photosynthesis doesn't occur in mushrooms. A DEET, DEET!
Where does extra oxygen go after photosynthesis?
I'm not sure what you mean by 'leftover' as oxygen is one of the products of photosynthesis. If photosynthesis is happening slowly, the plant cell may use all the oxygen for respiration, but in bright light when photosynthesis is rapid, the excess oxygen diffuses out into the air.
What photosynthesis mean gas that is released into the air as a by product of photosynthesis?
oxygen
What are neededfor photosynthesis?
i think you mean what is needed for photosynthesis and its soil, water and sunlight
Does photosynthesis mean made by light?

Plants are very important because of the process of photosynthesis what does photosynthesis mean?
using sun light to make things
What does photosynthesis mean in science?
It uses sunlight to grow
What does the cycle photosynthesis mean?
Photosynthesis is composed of 2 main words... photo, meaning light, and synthesis, to make. Photosynthesis is the process of creating glucose from light in a plant.
What word mean putting stuff together out of light?
Photosynthesis
What are the start of photosynthesis?

What do you mean by photosynthesis?
Photosynthesis is the process a plant uses to make food. It takes in carbon dioxide, sunlight and water to create glucose and oxygen.
From where does the oxygen liberated in photosynthesis come?
If you mean where is the oxygen released when photosynthesis has taken place then the answer is the stoma which is located under the leaf
Are the starting products of photosynthesis?
You might mean the reactants, the reactants for photosynthesis are 6CO2 + 6H2O+ light energy. The products from these reactants are Oxygen, Glucose. Photosynthesis: 6CO2+6H2O+light energy--->6O2+C6H12O6.
