Examples

Example 1

Input:

write a short 3 sentence definition for photosynthesis

Output:

Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae, and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy. During this process, water and carbon dioxide are converted into glucose and oxygen using light energy. This fundamental biological mechanism is essential for life on Earth as it provides the primary source of energy for most living organisms.
