Photosynthesis and Respiration Review Challenge

The video reviews photosynthesis and respiration, starting with the equations and reactants involved. It explains the role of chloroplasts and chlorophyll in photosynthesis, detailing the light reactions and Calvin cycle. The interaction of pigments with light is discussed, highlighting how different wavelengths are absorbed or reflected. The video also covers respiration, contrasting aerobic and anaerobic processes, and the production of ATP. Key concepts include the structure of chloroplasts, the role of pigments, and the efficiency of different respiration types.
