Explore one of the most fascinating processes plants can do: photosynthesis! In this Amoeba Sisters updated photosynthesis video, you will find a general overview of the light dependent and light independent reactions (Calvin Cycle) and how they work together to ultimately produce glucose. This video also compares the photosynthesis equation to the equation in cellular respiration. Still prefer the old video? Its here: youtu.be/uixA8ZXx0KU

This video or the original (old) photosynthesis video can be used with our "Photosynthesis & Cellular Respiration" handout on www.amoebasisters.com/handouts and our photosynthesis Unlectured series topic www.amoebasisters.com/unlectured

Video has been dubbed using an artificial voice via aloud.area120.google.com to increase accessibility. You can change the audio track language in the Settings menu.
