Photosynthesis - Energy in a Cell

The video tutorial covers the process of photosynthesis, explaining how light energy is converted into chemical energy stored as carbohydrates. It details the two phases: light-dependent reactions, which occur in the chloroplasts and involve chlorophyll, and the Calvin cycle, which does not require light. The tutorial also explains how pigments like chlorophyll affect color perception, and it concludes with a summary of the photosynthesis equation.
