Photosynthesis: Crash Course Biology #8
Hank explains the extremely complex series of reactions whereby plants feed themselves on sunlight, carbon dioxide and water, and also create some by products we're pretty fond of as well....
==========
Photosynthesis! It is not some kind of abstract scientific thing. You would be dead without plants and their magical- nay, SCIENTIFIC ability to convert sunlight, carbon dioxide and water into glucose and pure, delicious oxygen. This happens exclusively through photosynthesis, a process that was developed 450 million years ago and actually rather sucks. It's complicated, inefficient and confusing. But you are committed to having a better, deeper understanding of our world! Or, more probably, you'd like to do well on your test...so let's delve. There are two sorts of reactions in Photosynthesis...light dependent reactions, and light independent reactions, and you've probably already figured out the difference between those two, so that's ...
