C3 vs. C4 Photosynthesis Now and then, RuBP will affix itself to oxygen instead of carbon dioxide in a process known as photorespiration. This wasteful pathway results in the consumption—not ...

Photosynthesis has fueled life on Earth for billions of years. Learn how it shapes ecosystems, sustains life, and even aids climate ... After a few mind-numbing steps, this reaction makes yet another ...

Nature holds the original patent for storing light energy in molecules more successfully than in battery technologies.

The most important chemical equation in the world is the following: carbon dioxide plus water plus energy from sun equals sugar plus oxygen (6 CO2) + (6 H20) + (674 calories) = (C6H1206) + (6 02).

Photosynthesis, the way plants and some tiny organisms turn sunlight into energy, works incredibly well even though ...

Scientists Take Key Step in Mimicking Photosynthesis Learn how replicating the natural process plants use to create their own food from sun and water could ease some environmental issues. By Paul ...

With artificial photosynthesis, mankind could utilise solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists from Würzburg and Seoul have taken this one step further: They have ...
