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 ...

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 ...

This energy is used to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) into glucose (C6H12O6) and oxygen (O2). During photosynthesis, light energy is harnessed to split water molecules into hydrogen ...

This creates an intracellular environment rich in oxygen and relatively low in carbon dioxide. These rice plants combat photorespiration via C4 photosynthesis. Credit: Utsman Media/Unsplash Some ...
