🇬🇧🇨🇳 photosynthesis - 光合作用 : English Lesson
noun
Meaning of "photosynthesis" ("光合作用"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
Photosynthesis is the special process plants use to make their own food: they take in sunlight, water, and a gas from the air called carbon dioxide, and inside their leaves they use these ingredients to cook up sugar for energy and release oxygen for us to breathe.
If I had photosynthesis, I’d stand by the window in math class and whisper, "I may not get fractions, but at least I’m making lunch."
Photosynthesis is like a secret plant recipe: step one, add sunlight; step two, don’t tell the humans how good it tastes.
The plant rejected my hamburger and whispered, "No thanks, I only eat sunlight through photosynthesis."
The tree refused to wear sunscreen because it said, "Sunlight is my snack time—don’t block my photosynthesis!"
The grass outside heard the weather report and cheered, "Three sunny days? That’s a photosynthesis party!"
A child waters a small pot and sets it in sun, whispering, "do photosynthesis." Each green leaf leans to light as photosynthesis drinks water and air. Tiny bubbles of fresh oxygen show photosynthesis at work. The kitchen brightens with photosynthesis; the child laughs. Later the plant stands taller, proof of gentle photosynthesis, and the child claps.
