What's the difference between generate and synthesize?

Generate


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To beget; to procreate; to propagate; to produce (a being similar to the parent); to engender; as, every animal generates its own species.
  • (v. t.) To cause to be; to bring into life.
  • (v. t.) To originate, especially by a vital or chemical process; to produce; to cause.
  • (v. t.) To trace out, as a line, figure, or solid, by the motion of a point or a magnitude of inferior order.

Synthesize


Definition:

  • (v. t.) To combine by synthesis; to unite.
  • (v. t.) To produce by synthesis; as, to synthesize albumin.

Example Sentences:
