Inside every plant there is an insanely complex molecular engine that turns sunlight into food — and across billions of years, photosynthesis shaped the history of the entire planet, says Adam ...

Researchers on a quest to understand the origins of life just learned a little lesson about photosynthesis from 1.75 billion years ago. In a new study published in Nature, a team of researchers ...

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.

Photosynthesis - OCR Gateway Factors affecting the rate of photosynthesis Plants make food using photosynthesis. This food is important for the plants themselves and for organisms that feed on plants.

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.

This implies that photosynthesis of glaucophytes is affected and changed by other metabolic reactions, even in the dark. "Such concave light dependence was quite similar that observed in ...

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.

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 basis of all life on Earth is photosynthesis. So, what happens if it is disrupted? Today, advanced measurement tools can reveal how climate change is affecting plants' ability to process the ...

Scientists have re-engineered photosynthesis, a foundation of life on Earth, creating genetically modified plants that grow faster and bigger. They hope it leads to bigger harvests of food.

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 ...
