Explore one of the most fascinating processes plants can do: photosynthesis! In this Amoeba Sisters updated photosynthesis video, you will find a general overview of the light dependent and light independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) and how they work together to ultimately produce glucose. This video also compares the photosynthesis equation to the equation in cellular respiration. Still prefer the old video? It's here: • (OLD VIDEO) Photosynthesis and the Te...
This video or the original (old) photosynthesis video can be used with our "Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration" handout on https://www.amoebasisters.com/handouts and our photosynthesis Unlectured series topic https://www.amoebasisters.com/unlectured
Video has been dubbed using an artificial voice via https://aloud.area120.google.com to increase accessibility. You can change the audio track language in the Settings menu.
