Try out this experiment in Atomic Labs. Go to the Biology lab and try the light intensity and photosynthesis experiment. Leave for five minutes for the pondweed to acclimatise to the new light ...

Banana plants will be among those used because they have a fast photosynthesis rate A scientist is to spend 48 hours sealed inside an airtight chamber, surviving on oxygen produced by plants alone.

A research team followed the path of oxygen atoms on carbon dioxide molecules during photosynthesis to create a new way of measuring the efficiency of the world's plant life. The authors of the study ...

A cutting-edge experiment has revealed the quantum dynamics of one of nature's most crucial processes. Using a complex cast of metal-studded pigments, proteins, enzymes, and co-enzymes, photosynthetic ...

In herbaceous dominated patches and ecosystems, tree establishment is influenced partly by the ability of woody seedlings to survive and grow in direct competition with herbaceous vegetation. We ...

The process that powers much of life on Earth, photosynthesis, is so finely tuned that just one photon is enough to kick it off. Scientists have long suspected that photosynthesis must be sensitive to ...

Laboratory and field experiments have repeatedly demonstrated that modifications to the process of photosynthesis or to the physical characteristics of plants can make crops more resilient to hotter ...
