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 ...

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 for photosynthesis and ...

Do not attempt to perform this demonstration. The combustion of methane is an example of an exothermic reaction. More energy is released when the bonds in the products are formed than is used to break ...

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and certain types of bacteria synthesise carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and typically water, using light as an energy source. The process ...

Unlike plants, animals can’t carry out photosynthesis to generate our own oxygen, yet our brains rely on oxygen to make the massive amounts of energy needed to function. In a study published today ...
