Then, via respiration processes, cells use oxygen and glucose to synthesize ... However, photosynthesis doesn't just drive the carbon cycle — it also creates the oxygen necessary for respiring ...

Inspired by how plants produce their food, scientists have developed a system using artificial leaves to create sustainable ...

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 ...

But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis ... others are used to make carbohydrates such as glucose, which are as close to human food as plants ...

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 ...
