sunlight is a kind of solar energy & photosynthesis means green plants convert carbon dioxide and water and solar energy into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves ->  photosynthesis means green plants convert carbon dioxide and water and sunlight into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves  photosynthesis means green plants convert carbon dioxide and water and sunlight into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves & photosynthesis is a kind of chemical process ->  photosynthesis is a kind of process in which plants convert carbon dioxide and water and sunlight into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves  a plant is a kind of organism & if an organism uses a process to convert something to something else, then that something is required by that organism for that process ->  if a plant uses a process to convert something into something else then that something is required by that plant for that process  photosynthesis is a kind of process in which plants convert carbon dioxide and water and sunlight into carbohydrates and food and oxygen for themselves & if a plant uses a process to convert something into something else then that something is required by that plant for that process ->  a plant requires sunlight for photosynthesis  if something is required for a process, then that something must be obtained for that process & absorbing something is a kind of method for obtaining something ->  if something is required for a process, then that something can be absorbed for that process  a plant requires sunlight for photosynthesis & if something is required for a process, then that something can be absorbed for that process ->  a plant absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis  sunlight is a kind of solar energy & solar energy is a kind of energy ->  sunlight is a kind of energy  a plant absorbs sunlight for photosynthesis & sunlight is a kind of energy -> a plant absorbs energy for photosynthesis
