Jan Baptista van Helmont (1580-1644) partially discovered the process of photosynthesis. He grew a willow tree in a weighed amount of soil. After five years, he discovered that the willow tree weighed ...

The effect of light intensity on photosynthesis can be investigated in water plants. Use Cabomba or Elodea, which are sold in aquarium shops. The plants will release bubbles of oxygen – a product of ...

Photosynthesis in plants and a few bacteria is responsible for feeding nearly all life on Earth. It allows energy from the Sun to be converted into a storable form, usually glucose, which plants use ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.—An experiment aimed at learning more about how plants grow in space will be aboard a National Aeronautics and Space Administration launch in early August from the Cape Canaveral ...

I HAVE proposed 1 that coherent storage of absorbed light energy in optically non-active modes may be important in photosynthesis. For in this way energy could be transferred to electrons—initiating ...
