That process, called carbon fixation, resulted in the assembly of two three-carbon molecules called 3-phosphoglycerate (3-PGA). The energy stored in ATP and NADPH helps turn these 3-PGA molecules into ...

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...

Most plants split water molecules to generate energy, and now we have a clearer picture of exactly how they do it. Researches have found missing steps in photosynthesis by stimulating plant proteins ...
