A group of diatom species belonging to the Nitzschia genus gave up on photosynthesis and now get their carbon straight from ...

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 ...

However, the evolution of photosynthesis goes back even further, to the earliest cells that evolved the ability to capture light energy and use it to produce energy-rich molecules. When these ...

Microplastics are hindering photosynthesis, the process by which plants convert energy from the sun into the fruit and ...

Through photosynthesis, the particles of light power a cellular reaction that manufactures chemical energy (in the form of sugars), which is then passed around the food web in a complex dance of ...

Researchers from the lab say that, to their knowlege, this ηSTC is a first for a one metre squared cell. Within the next 10 years, the company aims to establish artificial photosynthesis ...

Plants adjust cellular pressure to respond to environmental factors. The evolution of stomata played a major role in changing ...

A new study, published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA, reveals how microplastics hinder photosynthesis across a wide range of plant species—including crucia ...

The other 5% of plants in the equation use C4 photosynthesis. "So, while you can't see it visually, at the cellular and molecular level, things are very different. And what's great is that these ...
