This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

Credit: Rodion Kutsaiev/Unsplash Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which ...

Photosynthesis isn’t just a single process ... 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) as one part of a catalytic cycle called the ...

Researchers have successfully developed a supramolecular fluorophore nanocomposite fabrication technology using nanomaterials and constructed a sustainable solar organic biohydrogen production system.

Meanwhile, a bunch of G3P is left over to restart the cycle. Why Is Photosynthesis Important? It’s no exaggeration to say we wouldn’t exist without photosynthesis. If another dino-killing asteroid ...

Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight for photosynthesis and producing oxygen and glucose. How can we determine whether carbon dioxide is actually being used or ...

We have studied and quantified the annual cycle of photosynthesis (Suni et al. 2003, Mäkelä et al. 2004), organ growth and carbon allocation (Schiestl-Aalto et al. 2015) and the storage of ...

(A) Photosynthesis in land plants fixes atmospheric CO2 (inorganic carbon) as organic carbon, which is either stored as plant biomass or in soil, or is decomposed back to CO2 through plant and ...
