A new carbon capture technique harnesses sunlight. This first light-powered system can both capture and release carbon ...

The video embedded below explains something of the photosynthesis mechanism found in different types of plant. Plants have to do something to counteract those toxic compounds, and in C3 plants ...

Photoprotection occurs via several different mechanisms, often acting in concert ... energy is utilized to create sugars by means of photosynthesis (or fuels the “futile” metabolic pathway ...

Plants have small pores on the underside of their leaves, known as stomata. When the sun rises, these pores open and the plants absorb carbon dioxide ...

During photosynthesis a plant absorbs light energy using the pigment chlorophyll. This allows it to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose. This glucose is: After a few minutes, the parts ...

The review collates a growing body of evidence that the carbon dioxide-triggered increase in photosynthesis, known as the carbon fertilization effect, presents a mixed bag for plant health, and pieces ...
