Created from Youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CMiPYHNNg28videoConcepts covered:photosynthesis, chlorophyll, Calvin Cycle, light-dependent reactions, CAM photosynthesis
The video explains the process of photosynthesis, focusing on how plants, along with some protists and bacteria, convert light energy into chemical energy in the form of glucose, while also producing oxygen as a byproduct. It details the two main stages of photosynthesis: the light-dependent reactions occurring in the thylakoids, which produce ATP and NADPH, and the light-independent reactions, or Calvin Cycle, occurring in the stroma, which use these products to convert carbon dioxide into glucose.
