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 ...

After a few mind-numbing steps, this reaction makes yet another molecule called G3P. Two of them combine to form a sugar — one more brick in the edifice that is a plant. Meanwhile, a bunch of G3P is ...

As the planet warms and global population grows, a looming food crisis is spurring biochemists to reengineer one of the most ...

Artificial photosynthesis is an emerging technology ... approaching the theoretical lowest limits for the conversion reactions. The researchers used solar cells connected to electrodes immersed ...

We often think of animals using oxygen and glucose for cellular respiration and producing carbon dioxide. Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight for photosynthesis and ...

Photosynthesis: A Chemical and Biological ... they trigger what's known as a photosynthetic electron-transfer reaction: a chemical reaction that produces a "proton gradient." ...

that brings us a step closer to the day carbon dioxide could be used as a resource.

These same minerals are also found in hot springs today, such as the Grand Prismatic Spring in Yellowstone National Park in ...
