The "photo-" part of the word photosynthesis refers to the , whereas "-synthesis" refers to

1. Light

2. production of large component from smaller components

Explanation:

In the given question, the meaning of the word Photo is light and the synthesis refers to the production and combining these words form photosynthesis. The literal meaning of photosynthesis will be the production of some compounds in the presence of light.

The word photosynthesis is used by the biologists to refer to a process taking place in the green plants which involve the light for the synthesis of energy-providing molecule glucose.

Thus, 1. The light and production of the large components are correct.

a = p(1 + rt) . . account balance after time t at rate r starting with principal p

3000 = 2500(1 + 0.0202t) . . filling in the given numbers

1.2 = 1 + 0.0202t . . divide by 2500

0.2 = 0.0202t . . . subtract 1

0.2/0.0202 = t ≈ 9.901

it will take about 9.9 years for the account balance to reach $3000.
