That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA ...

These molecules, called malate, form sheaths around RuBP to prevent photorespiration. Most plants utilize C3 photosynthesis, though, meaning they don't have built-in safeguards against ...

However, the evolution of photosynthesis goes back even further, to the earliest cells that evolved the ability to capture light energy and use it to produce energy-rich molecules. When these ...

These living workshops are consumed with photosynthesis and cellular respiration— processes dedicated to making, breaking, and reshaping molecules with the singular purpose of keeping a plant alive.

Photosynthesis is one of nature’s most efficient chemical processes, converting sunlight into energy with remarkable precision. Plants use this process to create sugar molecules and oxygen from water ...

With artificial photosynthesis, humankind could utilize solar energy to bind carbon dioxide and produce hydrogen. Chemists have taken this one step further: They have synthesized a stack of dyes that ...

If humans could hijack photosynthesis — essentially ... requires many steps involving multiple dyes, proteins, and other molecules. To recreate some of those steps, the team of scientists from Korea ...

Companies have been manufacturing synthetic fuels for nearly a century by combining carbon monoxide (which can be sourced ...

Enzymes are also involved in the building up of chemical molecules elsewhere in the body. In an organism, the active site of each enzyme is a different shape. It is a perfect match to the shape of ...

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) pollution drives climate change, warming the planet and threatening human survival. Plants naturally ...

We can do so through photoelectrochemistry, or artificial photosynthesis ... energy sources to break the chemical bond of the water molecules to produce hydrogen. "The graphitic compound based ...

These molecules, called malate, form sheaths around RuBP to prevent photorespiration. Most plants utilize C3 photosynthesis, though, meaning they don't have built-in safeguards against ...
