7. 
   photosynthesis
   The manufacture by plants of carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll with sunlight as the energy source. Oxygen and water vapor are released in the process. Photosynthesis is dependent on favorable temperature and moisture conditions as well as on the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration. Increased levels of carbon dioxide can increase net photosynthesis in many plants.

10. 
    photosynthesis
    (Life processes and cells) the chemical change that occurs in the leaves of green plants that uses light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. Oxygen is produced as a by product of photosynthesis.

    Photosynthesis
    is possibly the most important process on earth. It is how plants transform the energy of the sun to power the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates, producing oxygen as a by-product. Carbohydrates are the basis of all food and oxygen is required by all animals to live.

    photosynthesis
    Process by which green plants, algae, and some bacteria absorb light energy and use it to synthesize organic compounds (initially carbohydrates). In green plants, occurs in chloroplasts, that contain the photosynthetic pigments. Occurs by slightly different processes in C3 and C4 plants. See also Z scheme of photosynthesis and contrast with chemosynthesis.

    Photosynthesis
    Pho`to·syn'the·sis noun (Plant Physiol.) The process of constructive metabolism by which carbohydrates are formed from water vapor and the carbon dioxide of the air in the chlorophyll-containing tissues of plants exposed to the action of light. It was formerly called assimilation , but this is now commonly used as in animal physiology. The details of the process are not yet clearly known. ...
