Photosynthesis

This text explores the process of photosynthesis, starting from the absorption of light by chloroplast pigments to the synthesis of organic compounds. It covers topics such as the structure of chloroplasts, light reactions, the Calvin cycle, and the role of different molecules and pigments in photosynthesis.
