Students will make observations of a system and determine whether photosynthesis or respiration is taking place. Students will describe the cycle of matter into and out of organisms within a system.

During photosynthesis, an enzyme called rubisco catalyzes a key reaction—the incorporation of carbon dioxide into organic ...

Photosynthesis is still a mystery—but science is revealing unknown steps. Most plants split water molecules to generate energy, and now we have a clearer picture of exactly how they do it.

Scientists discovered a new form of photosynthesis that could expand the search for alien life and help with genetically engineering crops to live in lower light conditions.

Learn what respiration and photosynthesis are in plants. Find out how plants respire during the day and night in this Bitesize KS3 Biology guide.

These new findings offer up the oldest evidence of photosynthesis found to date. The researchers claim that their discovery extends the fossil record by at least 1.2 billion years, and that these ...

Chinese researchers have developed a technology that sheds light on how the three-dimensional (3D) organization of plant genomes influences gene expression—especially in photosynthesis. The ...

The evolution of oxygenic photosynthesis should have occurred some time before the oxidation of Earth’s atmosphere 2.5 billion years ago. The molybdenum isotopic signature of shallow marine ...

Photosynthesis in the dark? Unraveling the mystery of algae evolution Date: April 24, 2017 Source: Waseda University Summary: Researchers compared the photosynthetic regulation in glaucophytes ...

Photosynthesis breaks down. What he and other researchers have seen in natural tropical environments is a clear degradation in the efficiency of photosynthesis.

Photosynthesis originated a billion years earlier than we thought, study shows Date: March 6, 2018 Source: Elsevier Summary: The earliest oxygen-producing microbes may not have been cyanobacteria.
