Detailed explanation-1: -Photosynthesis, comes from two words, photo meaning ‘’light” and synthesis meaning “to make". Photosynthesis evolved billions of years ago as a way for the first living cells to make their own nutrition from commonly occuring natural elements of air, water and light.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plants absorb sunlight and turn that energy into food; the process is known as photosynthesis. This is a compound word made up of photo (which means “light") and synthesis (which means “to put together").
Detailed explanation-5: -During photosynthesis, energy from sunlight is harvested and used to drive the synthesis of glucose from CO2 and H2O. By converting the energy of sunlight to a usable form of potential chemical energy, photosynthesis is the ultimate source of metabolic energy for all biological systems.
