User: whats the meaning of photosyntesis

Weegy: Photosynthesis ( /fo?to?'s?n??s?s/; from the Greek f?t?- [photo-], "light," and s???es?? [synthesis], "putting together", [ "composition") is a process used by plants and other organisms to capture the sun's energy to split off water's hydrogen from oxygen. Hydrogen is combined with carbon dioxide (absorbed from air or water) to form glucose and release oxygen. All living cells in turn use fuels derived from glucose and oxidize the hydrogen and carbon to release the sun's energy and reform water and carbon dioxide in the process (cellular respiration).[1] ]
