How light and water transform into the energy that sustains life
In short: Explore the two-stage biological engine of photosynthesis. This video breaks down how plants convert solar energy and carbon dioxide into the essential sugars that support life on Earth.
The process begins with light-dependent reactions, which utilize light energy and water to generate oxygen, ATP, and NADPH. These chemical products then fuel the Calvin cycle, where carbon dioxide is processed to create sugar.
