ScienceHow We Discovered Photosynthesis: A Timeline
From van Helmont's willow tree to the Calvin cycle: nine experiments over three centuries that revealed how plants use light, carbon dioxide and water to make sugar, and showed that the oxygen they release comes from water.
SciencePhotosynthesis Key Terms and Equations
A revision cheat sheet for photosynthesis: the word and balanced symbol equations, key terms such as chlorophyll, chloroplast, glucose and limiting factor, the inverse square law, and the five ways a plant uses its glucose.
SciencePhotosynthesis vs Respiration: Key Differences
Photosynthesis stores energy in glucose; respiration releases it. Compare where and when each happens, what goes in and comes out, and why plants do both, plus the compensation point and the day and night gas exchange of a leaf.
ScienceWhat Limits Photosynthesis? The Limiting Factors
The rate of photosynthesis is set by whatever is in shortest supply: light intensity, carbon dioxide, temperature, chlorophyll or water. See how each factor works, how to read rate graphs and how the inverse square law applies.
ScienceHow Photosynthesis Works: From Sunlight to Sugar
Photosynthesis is how plants use light energy to turn carbon dioxide and water into glucose, releasing oxygen as a by-product. It happens in chloroplasts in two linked stages: the light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle.
