That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). The energy stored in ATP and NADPH helps turn these 3-PGA molecules into ...

Scientists assumed most forms of life before the Great Oxidation Event didn't metabolize oxygen—but recent research suggests ...

Plants need food to respire, grow and reproduce. Unlike animals, plants are able to make their own food by the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis takes place in the part of the plant cell ...

Companies have been manufacturing synthetic fuels for nearly a century by combining carbon monoxide (which can be sourced from carbon dioxide) and hydrogen under high temperatures. But the hope is ...

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 ...

To mitigate global climate change, emissions of the primary culprit, carbon dioxide, must be drastically reduced. A newly ...

A research group led by Prof. DANG Fei from the Institute of Soil Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in ...

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) pollution drives climate change, warming the planet and threatening human survival. Plants naturally ...

So plants use light to make their own food (in the form of sugar). The overall process of photosynthesis can be summarised by the word equation shown below. In reality, photosynthesis consists of ...
