The definition of photosynthesis is the process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars. This process is carried out by plants, algae, and some bacteria. To arrive at this answer, we can eliminate the other options by understanding the basic concept of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis involves capturing sunlight through chlorophyll in the plant's cells, then using that energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose (sugar) and oxygen. The reaction can be summarized by the equation: 6CO2 + 6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2. Therefore, option "the process of changing light into stored chemical energy in the form of sugars" accurately describes photosynthesis.
