Photosynthesis (/ˌfoʊtəˈsɪnθəsɪs/ FOH-tə-SINTH-ə-sis) is a

Photosynthate partitioning is the
deferential distribution of
photosynthates to
plant tissues. A
photosynthate is the
resulting product of photosynthesis...

during photosynthesis and
known as
photosynthates, in
particular the
sugar sucrose, to the rest of the plant. This transport...
- inter-plant
transfer of
nutrients may
occur via
mycorrhizal networks, with
photosynthates moving from a 'donor'
plant to a 'recipient' plant.
Numerous studies...

sustain respiration over this period, an
amount estimated to be

these symbioses, the
algae supply photosynthates (organic substances) to the host
