Photosynthesis the the process that plants use to turn sunlight into the energy that they need to survive and to make all the food that we eat (even cows, chickens, and pigs come indirectly from photosynthesis since they eat plants to survive). It is also the energy that was stored millions of years ago by prehistoric plants and bacteria that now makes up our fossil fuels (like the gasoline you put in your car). In fact, with the exceptions of direct solar energy, geothermal energy, and nuclear energy, all the energy we consume comes from photosynthesis (food, gas, natural gas,coal, alcohol fuels, etc.).
