Photosynthesis (Light Reactions)

The NDSU Virtual Cell Animation Project presents 'Photosynthesis - The Light Reactions'. For more information please see vcell.ndsu.edu/animations
Photosynthesis is the means by which plants make use of chlorophyll and light to produce energy. This section covers the basic stages of the light reactions in the photosynthetic electron transport chain.

the intro kinda spooky ngl

[@The13thGuest]

A picture is worth a thousand words; a video maybe a million.

[@yvikas70]

This is amazing, about 1000 times clearer than my bio professor

[@foreverteuk]

Finally see the big picture. I have been struggling for too long

2022 and this is still one of the best of its kind on youtube

[@Gianna-ff2mg]

Wow - your animations are always incredible. Thank you so so much. You word everything really well - very easy to conceptualise

[@judojudojudo94]

Amazing video, explains 20 pages of my university book in only 5 minutes!

[@travelwithdrawal8067]

That makes so much more sense. I had no clue why the photons were necessary to excite P700 but now it makes total sense thank you!

[@anvayaiyer5614]

Finally, you are the one I've been searching for all of my life

[@user-te6ic2hj5y]

Extremely vivid!!

[@macmarklemore]

Photosynthesis blows my mind. The narrator has a delightful voice. Great job.

Let's gooooooooooooooooooooooo!!! Bio Test

[@AngelicStringsmusic]

Well paced, and a great presentation. Thank you for your service to increase the level education available on the web.

Thanks for uploading this video. It simplifies what the Biochemistry books make complicated.

[@lespaul862]

Photosynthesis makes so much more sense now, the light dependent cycle anyway. Thanks!

[@The21Shit]

guys, this is way better and easier than these crappy textbooks. This really saved my life.

[@PamRavenHeart]

These videos are great! Now I know where to look when I need a summary of a lecture. Thank you vcell! :D

[@flyingc4]

Absolutely astounding.

[@Osteomorphis]

Woa, I kind of got that. Thanks for such a cool visual on photosynthesis.

In adittion to this process, after the reaction between co2 and the ribulose diphosphate, the "Calvin Cycle " uses the nadph and ATP produced in the light reactions to synthesize glyceraldehyde: a carbon molecule. After that, the glyceraldehyde will eventually become glucose, which will be used by the
mitochondria to generate energy, and a part of the molecule
predecessor of the glyceraldehyde will stay in the cicle and will become ribulose again, react with another co2, and so on ....
