Photosynthesis, the way plants and some tiny organisms turn sunlight into energy, works incredibly well even though ...

During oxygenic photosynthesis, light energy transfers electrons from water (H2O) taken up by plant roots to CO2 to produce carbohydrates. In this transfer, the CO2 is "reduced," or receives ...

It was previously thought that the process of charge separation in the reaction centre was a 'bottleneck' in photosynthesis - the slowest step in the process - rather than the transfer of energy ...

Applying these findings in the design of artificial photosynthesis units could ... Reassessing the role and lifetime of Qx in ...

Their research describes a ruthenium-based catalyst that uses light to trigger electron and proton transfers. This reaction ...

It’s happening all the time – day and night, and, in plants’ case, often at the same time as photosynthesis. Cellular respiration is the process organisms use to transfer the energy they get ...

Photosynthesis drives all life on Earth ... an important milestone toward a comprehensive understanding of energy transfer in this system. This discovery may help exploit its efficiency in ...

Photosynthesis is the motor of all life on Earth ... chemical calculations – an important milestone toward a comprehensive understanding of energy transfer in this system and potentially being able to ...

LMU chemists use high-precision quantum chemistry to study key elements of super-efficient energy transfer in an important element of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the motor of all life on Earth.

During photosynthesis, plants harvest light and ... there was some suggestion that in fact it could be the energy transfer step that was slowest, but it was not yet possible to prove experimentally.
