Almost all life either directly or indirectly depends on one of the most important biological processes on the planet - photosynthesis. Through easy-to-understand graphics and colorful animations, the complex chemical process of photosynthesis is explored. The various structures involved in photosynthesis, transpiration, and transport are also highlighted. Concepts and terminology include: chloroplast, photosystem, light reactions, light-independent reactions, carbon fixation, pigments, photon, absorption, spectrum, chlorophyll, carotenoids, electron transport, photophosphorylation, Calvin Cycle, and C4 plants.
Review
~ "In this breakdown of the process of photosynthesis, viewers learn how plants convert three basic ingredients - sunlight, carbon dioxide, and water - into nutrition in the form of glucose¡" - E. Gieschen, Video Librarian, Sept/Oct 2011
