Photosynthesis, Team R

For our video, we chose to show the process of photosynthesis through a few thorough scientific steps in a humorous way that will allow viewers to intake information with a little comic relief. Photosynthesis is a metabolic process by which an organism in takes light energy then converts it into chemical energy that can be used in to propel energy throughout an organism. Photosynthesis is a very intense process that we have summed up recognizing that our video does not amount to the extravagant and intricate step-by-step progression of the conversion of energy that occurs mechanically.
In our video, each person had a short dialogue summing up one of photosynthesis steps. In the light reaction of photosynthesis, as a molecule of chlorophyll absorbs light in the orange-red and blue violent ranges of wavelengths, one proton then loses one electron (shown as the balloon). This allows the flow of electrons down the electron transport chain. Because of the lost electron, the chlorophyll takes one from the water molecule. During this process water frees oxygen diffuses out of the cell into the air, which is called photolysis. A proton gradient is then produced. ATP synthase and the breakdown of phophorylates and inorganic phosphate into ATP, breaks down this gradient in the thykaloid membrane. The whole process leads to not only glucose but also the most fundamental element a human needs to survive, the release of oxygen.
In short, our video was taped in order to give viewers a different way to retain important information rather than having it be produced in a serious and strict tone. We tried to be funny and give each molecule or product, whatever was doing the speaking, a certain personality characterized by what it produced or how it was used during photosynthesis. We hope it is enjoyed!

HAHA GO CONOR!my big cuz..love meabh x

[atangvideo]

wow, ridiculously stupid video. does nonsense like this really help u understand photosynthesis?

[screwfat]

haha 'im gonna chlorophyll YOU with some light photons...'.

thank you for making it funny

im gonna chlorophyll YOU...hahaha.i cant believe im still laughing

[SamuelHammer]

incredibly edgy, dark (light-dependent?!) and well, emo. conor me lad, your own music! YES!

protons are pumped from the stroma not the "stoma" into the thylakoid space.

can't wait to see what you produce NEXT semester.
