Artificial photosynthesis replicates the process of photosynthesis to harness the sun’s energy in an environmentally friendly way. Research has yielded two results: photoelectrochemical cells and dye-sensitized solar cells. Both aim to achieve artificial photosynthetic energy that can be stored for later use. The most effective catalysts are cobalt and rhodium. Gratzel cells are the cheapest […]
Photosynthesis converts sunlight into energy, producing glucose and oxygen. Chloroplasts, located in cells of photosynthesizing organisms, use chlorophyll to absorb sunlight. Chloroplasts evolved from photosynthetic bacteria through symbiotic relationships. Photosynthesis caused the oxygen catastrophe, leading to mass extinction. Photosynthetic organisms are producers and the foundation of every ecosystem. Photosynthesis is a technique for converting sunlight […]
