Documents how scientists unraveled the mystery of photosynthesis and then examines the structural adaptations in leaves that facilitate photosynthesis, the nature of visible light and the structure of chloroplasts before going on to explain how the light dependent reactions that occur in photosystems I and II produce ATP and other high energy molecules that are then used to produce gluclose via the light independent C3 and C4 cycles which are compared and contrasted to one another -- container.
Scientific experiments revealing how plants grow -- Plants grow because of photosynthesis -- Photosynthesis supports most life on Eart -- The structure of leaves & chloroplasts -- Light reactions: an overview -- Chlorophyll & other pigments capture light energy -- Photosystems I & II are powered by light energy -- Photosystem II produces ATP molecules -- Photosystem I produces NADPH molecules -- Photosystems I & II receive electrons from water -- The C3 cycle -- Carbon Fixation -- PGAL & glucose synthesis -- RUBP replacement.
