Photosynthesis: The Biochemistry Behind How Plants Make Their Food

The video explains the critical role of carbon in life and how plants obtain it through photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is likened to a factory process occurring in chloroplasts, with thylakoids and stroma playing key roles. Light-dependent reactions convert sunlight into ATP, while the Calvin cycle in the stroma synthesizes sugars. Photosynthesis is vital for life, balancing atmospheric CO2 and producing oxygen. The process is essential for plant growth and impacts the environment significantly.
