Virtually all organic material on Earth has been produced by cells that convert energy from the Sun into energy-containing macromolecules. This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the ...

Photosynthesis: A Chemical and Biological ... Plants can then burn carbohydrates for energy via cellular respiration and ...

However, the evolution of photosynthesis goes back even further, to the earliest cells that evolved the ability to capture light energy and use it to produce energy-rich molecules. When these ...

Scientists have developed an advanced artificial photosynthesis technique that doesn’t just mimic plants—it revolutionizes ...

close respirationA chemical reaction that occurs in the mitochondria of cells in which glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. Photosynthesis is one of the ...

A research team led by Assistant Professor Shogo Mori and Professor Susumu Saito at Nagoya University has developed a method ...

Plants use quantum mechanics to optimize photosynthesis, inspiring new artificial light-harvesting technologies.

Bacteria could be the answer to living solar panels that harness the power of the sun for homes in the future. Here's how they'd work.

Photosynthesis takes place inside chloroplasts, small compartments within plant cells that contain their own genome, ...
