The main source of photosynthesis is sunlight.
Because 'photo' means 'sunlight'. So photosynthesis means "Formation of energy through sunlight including nutrients from the soil and water".

I know this isn't the question but I will also give a brief description of photosynthesis.
Light from the sun hits the cells of the leaf in a plant, and reacts with the chlorophyll in the chloroplasts (in the cells).
The plant also takes in water from the ground and carbon dioxide from the air.
Then the plant, (using the energy absorbed from the light,) turns the water and carbon dioxide into glucose sugar, and then into starch (The plant uses starch for food).
The plant also produces oxygen as a by-product.
The equation for this is: water + carbon dioxide -----> glucose + oxygen
or 6(H2 O) + 6(C O2) -----> C6 H12 O6 + 6(O2)

What is the energy source for transcription?
GTP is the energy source for transcription
How can you show that plants are the ultimate source of energy?
plants are not the ultimate source of energy. It is the sun which is the ultimate source of energy to this planet
What is the source of enegry used un the photosynthsis reaction that makes sugar form carbon dioxide and water?
The ultimate source of energy for photosynthesis is sunlight.
Where does the energy come from for photosynthsis to work?
The energy for photosynthesis comes from the sun.
Captures energy from sunlight?
it's plant. they use chlorophyll and trap sunlight energy
What are the raw materials for photosynthsis?
6CO+6 H20+ energy(from sunlight)
What is the purpose of photosynthsis?
The purpose of Photosynthesis is to create energy filled molecules that can later be metabolized by the plant.
What is a product of photosynthsis?
oxogyen
Is a solar energy system considered as a blue energy source or a green energy source?
green energy source
What are the products of photosynthsis?
oxygen and water
Where does photosynthsis take place in the cell?
.
What are product of photosynthsis?
oxygen and water
Is electricity a clean source of energy?
The term clean source of energy refers to only primary energy sources as wind or solar energy. Electricity, by definition, is not a primary energy source. It is a secondary energy source that is could be produced by a clean energy source as wind or any renewable primary energy source or produced by fossil energy source as oil, natural gas, or coal.
What do plants need to under go photosynthsis?
For plants to photosynthesise, they need sunlight, water, co2, nutrients from the soil they then use the suns energy to power the reaction.
