Photosynthesis - A chemical process used by plants to make glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using light energy. Oxygen is produced as a by-product of photosynthesis.

Plant biomass will increase as a result of photosynthesis.

Biomass - dry mass of an organism 

During photosynthesis, plants produce glucose and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water, using light energy from the Sun.
