1. Chemical compounds produced when a substance is exposed to light, especially in photochemical reactions or photosynthesis.
Usage: technical; plural form; singular is photoproduct; commonly used in chemistry and biology
2. Substances formed as a result of DNA damage caused by ultraviolet radiation or other light exposure.
Usage: technical; used in molecular biology and genetics

Examples

• The photoproducts formed during photosynthesis are essential for plant energy production.
• Researchers studied the photoproducts created when the DNA was exposed to ultraviolet light.
• The reaction generated several photoproducts that were analyzed using chromatography.
• Photoproducts of chlorophyll play a crucial role in the light-dependent reactions.
• The cells developed mechanisms to repair photoproducts caused by sun exposure.
• Scientists identified new photoproducts in the water sample after prolonged light exposure.
