if anyone needs simple steps of photosynthesis... 1. light comes in 2. the light powers electrons through etc 3. those electrons go through proteins 4. these electrons pump protons 5. the electrons go through atp synthase 6. the electrons make atp AT OR NEAR THE SAME TIME 1.water comes in 2. water splits into hydrogen and oxygen 3. oxygen diffuses 4. hydrogen ions are used to make energy LATER IN THE CALVIN CYCLE 1. ATP and NADPH are there partying it up 2. 1 carbon molecule fuses with 5 rubisco 3. This compound mixes with ATP to form G3P 4. G3P makes rubisco and the cycle starts over :)
Ignore that first comment. I have had to do the same and science is the degree I am working on. To really grasp you need a multitude of subjects, definitely starting with chemistry. Without that foundation a lot of the terminology can be hard such as protons and ions. It makes you smart when you set out to try to learn more.
Suddenly I happened to listen Bozeman’s lectures.It’s a great experience to me , as I from humanities background, very shortly I understood all the major concepts which raise many doubts in mind for four years. Now I am lessthan a science graduate comparatively. I must thank the wonderful scholar who might born with god’s bliss ! Whose lack me and the world living with me would have lost a lot and lot ! Thanks science world.
Wowowowow this guy is awesome. Definitely getting me through m AP Bio course, and he cover in twelve minuted the exact same material my teacher struggles to teach and explain in an hour and a half.
wow, it's been 2 weeks that our teacher gives us readings to understand all the processes and I was having difficulty understanding. with your video, 12 min and I understood everything. thank you !!!!! great teaching skills!
Thank you very much mister Andersen. English is my second language. And sometimes it is very hard for me to understand the chapters of the biology book. I am so glad I can watch your videos before I read book. You are explaining it so simple. I wish I can have you on my lectures. Thank you for all that you did :)
gave up on reading my biology textbook chapters for college after 3 more chapters were added to the unit.. a day before the exam.... Found your videos and now I feel a bit more confident I will do better than I think during the test tomorrow.
You're the best! I've been struggling to understand this process for several days now. Thanks to you, I think I've finally got it. Thank you so much :)
Praise God! Excellent video to accompany my textbook. Mr. Anderson you really breakdown photosynthesis into bite size, digestible pieces. Be well and thank you!
This guy is a legend. I had an AP Bio Photosynthesis test, and I did not understand anything, and I watched this video the class right before my bio class, and I got a 92 Thx
Very concise. Less convoluted than Khan Academy, less gimmicky (slap-stick) than CrashCourse, and better information than them both. Ideal for a higher education student. It's a shame you don't get their subscribers. Thanks.
I usually watch your videos first then go watch the same thing on Crash Course thats because though CC is interesting the guy talks too fast so i have to watch your videos first because you help more with learning and understanding things... then i will watch crash course for a quick review. and by then can actually follow what the guys says more c: this really helps me learn :D
These videos are SUPER helpful. I am reviewing for my AP Bio midterm and my notes were just making me more confused, but these videos are super helpful and easy to follow along with!!!
Wow Montana, Mr. G is gonna love this tomorrow in class. But at least this is proof that you watched the video! And thanks Mr. Anderson, these videos are always extremely helpful
This is really an awesome video. It made me understand all the basic concepts in so much less time. I really thank you for making such a relief for bio students.
Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle. Light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, use light energy to make ATP and NADPH. In plants, the so-called "light" reactions occur within the chloroplast thylakoids, where the aforementioned chlorophyll pigments reside. When light energy reaches the pigment molecules, it energizes the electrons within them, and these electrons are shunted to an electron transport chain in the thylakoid membrane., The photosynthesis chemical equation states that the reactants (carbon dioxide, water and sunlight), yield two products, glucose and oxygen gas. The single chemical equation represents the overall process of photosynthesis.
This was very clear. Thanks. I was, however, hoping to find an explanation of the quantum mechanical action in the process which I understand is intrinsic and essential. This all seems like chemistry and some classical mechanics. (Not trying to sound smarty pants, just trying to explain what I'm not getting). I thought maybe the movement of the electron might have been by quantum mechanics but you described it being moved along a pipe in an analog chemical fashion. At any rate, thanks so much for posting.
Love the tutorials! Shouldn't this one mention Benson who really worked out the photosynthetic process and Calvin then nicked it and didn't recognise Benson?
My question is pointed toward the splitting of water, since water splitting is such a big focus of research efforts to modify photosynthesis toward making oxygen and hydrogen, plus bio-engineered fuels instead of sugars. Who knows what the water splitting catalysts are and can we use them in man-made systems?
Hi. I'm from Czech Republic and English is my second language. and guess what, i understand photosynthesis ten times better from this video than from my own college in my maternal language. weird huh. anyway, thank you :)
I speculate the reason why plants are green is because the sun's brightest color in the spectrum is around 500 nm, which is green, and since the plant doesn't want to overheat, the plant has chlorophyll to reflect that green.
You wonder about people, right? Someone taking their time, almost certainly get paid nothing to do this, and they are not happy. Maybe they are hoping photosynthesis is simpler than it is ( wishful thinking :)
not sure if you read your comments but big shoutout to you man I got a 96 on our test that i literally taught to myself the night before using this video as a base!!
