Osaka Metropolitan University researchers have revealed the 3D structure of lab-made light-harvesting complex II (LHCII), a ...

The green in the leaves from May to October is created by a pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll helps plants produce energy through photosynthesis, the process plants use to convert sunlight into ...

This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...

In an incredible feat that redefines biological boundaries, scientists have successfully engineered animal cells capable of ...

However, the amount of chlorophyll present in the leaves is not constant throughout the year. In the fall, everything starts ...

This article was originally published with the title “ The Role of Chlorophyll in Photosynthesis ” in Scientific American Magazine Vol. 213 No. 1 (July 1965), p. 74 doi:10.1038 ...

Humans can do plenty, but plants have an ability we don't: they make energy straight from sunlight, a superpower called ...

Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...
