  Photosynthesis \Pho`to*syn"the*sis\, n. (Plant Physiol.)
     The process of constructive metabolism by which carbohydrates
     are formed from water vapor and the carbon dioxide of the air
     in the chlorophyll-containing tissues of plants exposed to
     the action of light. It was formerly called assimilation,
     but this is now commonly used as in animal physiology. The
     details of the process are not yet clearly known. Baeyer's
     theory is that the carbon dioxide is reduced to carbon
     monoxide, which, uniting with the hydrogen of the water in
     the cell, produces formaldehyde, the latter forming various
     sugars through polymerization. Vines suggests that the
     carbohydrates are secretion products of the chloroplasts,
     derived from decomposition of previously formed proteids. The
     food substances are usually quickly translocated, those that
     accumulate being changed to starch, which appears in the
     cells almost simultaneously with the sugars. The chloroplasts
     perform photosynthesis only in light and within a certain
     range of temperature, varying according to climate. This is
     the only way in which a plant is able to organize
     carbohydrates. All plants without a chlorophyll apparatus, as
     the fungi, must be parasitic or saprophytic. --
     Pho`to*syn*thet"ic, a. -- Pho`to*syn*thet"ic*al*ly, adv.

        [1913 Webster]
  
              To aspire to an assimilation with God. --Dr. H.

        [1913 Webster]

     2. (Physiol.) The conversion of nutriment into the fluid or
        solid substance of the body, by the processes of digestion
        and absorption, whether in plants or animals.
        [1913 Webster]
  
              Not conversing the body, not repairing it by
              assimilation, but preserving it by ventilation.
                                                    --Sir T.
                                                    Browne.
        [1913 Webster]
  
     Note: The term assimilation has been limited by some to the
           final process by which the nutritive matter of the
           blood is converted into the substance of the tissues
           and organs.
