Photosynthesis (Light Reactions)

The NDSU Virtual Cell Animation Project presents 'Photosynthesis - The Light Reactions'. For more information please see http://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.

Yeahh I have no clue on any of this stuff. Kinda sucks that I have a test on it and I have to demonstrate the process to my teacher... Well, looks like I need to ask my older sister and if she doesn't know then i'm shit outta luck! :/

@videoviewer422 Wow I just reported this to EDU.com, hope you enjoy your suspension.

I -3 science

Nice animations! :D But I was wondering, how likely do you think it is that plant and animal life could arise without photosynthesis? Europa has an ocean underneath its icy shell and there might be life in it. But could there be plant and animal life without photosynthesis or would it more likely just be microbial life?

I thought pheophytin was the primary electron acceptor rather than plastoquinone

Was it just me or did that whole show look appetizing?? Lol
