They synthesized materials that could be used in antidepressant and hay fever drugs. Scientists make major energy ...

Water is oxidized once it enters a plant, meaning it loses electrons that will become useful for photosynthesis. We'll get back to those electrons in a minute. A colorized electron microscope ...

Microplastics can cut a plant’s ability to photosynthesize by up to 12 percent, new research shows microplastics are ...

close respirationA chemical reaction that occurs in the mitochondria of cells in which glucose and oxygen react to produce carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. Photosynthesis is one of the ...

a method that—just like photosynthesis—uses sunlight and water, as with electrolysis, to obtain hydrogen, without generating harmful emissions. A group of researchers from the Department of ...

Both need water and air. We often think of animals using oxygen and glucose for cellular respiration and producing carbon dioxide. Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight ...

So in photosynthesis, plant cells combine a zap of that energy with carbon dioxide pulled from the air and water. The end products of this chemical reaction are the sugar glucose that plants use ...

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 ...
