Photosynthesis research

Photosynthesis research explores how plants and other organisms convert sunlight into chemical energy, producing oxygen and glucose—a vital process for life on Earth. Scientists study the mechanisms behind this, including how chlorophyll absorbs light and how energy is transferred within cells. Advances aim to improve crop yields, develop sustainable energy sources, and understand ecological impacts. Understanding photosynthesis at a deeper level helps address challenges like climate change and food security by optimizing natural and artificial systems for energy and resource production.
