photosynthesizing
Making sugar sunwise
Photosynthesizing is the process by which plants and some other organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy, producing sugars from carbon dioxide and water while releasing oxygen.
The word appears as both verb and adjective: photosynthesizing algae, The leaves were actively photosynthesizing.
It's the biological mechanism that makes most life on Earth possible.
