By gaining a deeper understanding of the workings of this process, scientists can invent state-of-the-art technologies in the ...

Photosynthesis in Higher Plants: Various processes are occurring inside the living organism. Each of these processes has its essentiality and is thus important for the survival of the organisms. One ...

For photosynthesis, one photon is all it takes. Only a single particle of light is required to spark the first steps of the biological process that converts light into chemical energy, scientists ...

Light supplies the energy plants need to build up biomass. A research team is researching how plants adapt their photosynthesis to changing light. They describe a key molecular mechanism that ...

Using ultra-rapid lasers, researchers have created the first "movie" of photosynthesis chemical reactions that shows exactly how fast they happen. The finding proves that a key process that strips ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and certain types of bacteria synthesise carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and typically water, using light as an energy source. The process can be ...

One of the outstanding questions of the early Earth is how ancient organisms made the transition from anoxygenic (no oxygen produced) to oxygenic photosynthesis. Scientists have now moved closer to ...

The core of the photosynthetic complex photosystem I had been assumed to require contact with its associated light-harvesting complex I to function. But a mutant Arabidopsis line lacking the ...

Photosynthesis, the natural process of converting sunlight energy into chemical energy and generating molecular oxygen, is a remarkable natural phenomenon that not only forms the basis for sustaining ...
