What is photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis can be defined as the process where plants and other organisms use light energy and convert them into chemical energy. In most of the plants, these plants release oxygen as a form of waste which is inhaled by the human living for survival. Most of the plants and algae perform photosynthesis in the presence of sunlight and are also known as photoautotrophs. The process of photosynthesis is the key thing which is maintaining the flow of oxygen on the Earth.
