The word “photosynthesis” is derived from the Greek words phōs (pronounced: “fos”) and σύνθεσις (pronounced: “synthesis“)
Phōs means “light” and σύνθεσις means, “combining together.” This means “combining together with the help of light.”
Photosynthesis also applies to other organisms besides green plants. These include several prokaryotes such as cyanobacteria, purple bacteria, and green sulfur bacteria. These organisms exhibit photosynthesis just like green plants.
The glucose produced during photosynthesis is then used to fuel various cellular activities. The by-product of this physio-chemical process is oxygen.
