On the east coast of Australia, in tropical North Queensland, lies the Daintree rainforest—a place where the density of trees ...

But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly magical process ...

Gas from the seafloor has scientists wondering if oxygen could be found in the oceans of other planets.

A case in point: scientists have found a way to make photosynthesis better and this should lead to more productive crops. We learned in school that plants use carbon dioxide and sunlight to create ...

The most vulnerable phase of a plant's life is the short time period that follows germination. During this phase, the newly ...

Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight for photosynthesis and producing oxygen and glucose. How can we determine whether carbon dioxide is actually being used or ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...

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 ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and certain types of bacteria synthesise carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and typically water, using light as an energy source. The process ...
