<human>:  What is the process of photosynthesis?
<bot>: Photosynthesis is the process in which light energy from the sun is converted into chemical energy by plants and other photoautotrophs. The process involves the absorption of carbon dioxide, water and light energy, followed by the conversion of these into glucose and oxygen. The overall process can be summarized as light energy being converted into chemical energy, with the byproducts of this chemical reaction being oxygen and glucose.
