By | October 7, 2021

In the last part of photosynthesis series , we shall look into factors governing the process of photosynthesis in plants and also importance of photosynthesis to both plants and other organisms. Earlier blogs can be read : Part I of Photosynthesis : Introduction Part II – Light Reaction PART III – Calvin Cycle Part VI –… Read More »

Photorespiration, C4 Pathway and CAM metabolism pathway – Photosynthesis in plants (Part V)

Evolution (cumulative changes in a population or species through time), is crucial for survival and flourishing of all species or populations. According to endosymbiosis theory, all the eukaryotic life which we see today had evolved from the Archaea bacteria. Evolution has also played an important part in process of photosynthesis- from bacteria to plants. Photosynthesis… Read More »

Calvin Cycle – Photosynthesis in Plants (PART -III)

By | September 21, 2021

The term Photosynthesis was first proposed by Prof. Conway MacMillan , when he was working at University of Minnesota in 1893. In the earlier blog posts we discussed about Introduction to Photosynthesis in green Plants and details of Light Reaction. As we have seen in previous posts, Photosynthesis can be divided into two different parts… Read More »
