Ever wondered how 'Mother Nature' cooks food for us, for the whole of humanity and other living beings? How much do we owe to her? This collection will explore the ways how nature takes care of our two indispensable needs: Oxygen and Food. It begins with an introduction to photosynthesis followed by the experiments, site & scheme and the pigments in photosynthesis. The collection then has an overview of the light reaction, electron transport system, photophosphorylation and dark reaction. We then move on to bacterial photosynthesis, chemiosmotic hypothesis, photorespiration, kranz anatomy, crassulacean acid metabolism and the factors that are affecting photosynthesis.
It's time to preserve the nature, not just to protect the planet, but us. Let's begin this exploration together.


This section is a one-stop shop for all Medical aspirants. Be thorough with these powerful courses that will give you the right strategy for preparation, and help you crack any pre-medical exam.

This lesson will give you the idea that what a remarkable job 'Plant Kingdom' is doing, tirelessly, fulfilling the ever urgent need of Oxygen to respire and food for energy.  Let's see how.

Introduction To Photosynthesis

This lesson will let you know the initial phases of scientific exploration in photosynthesis that led us to witness this amazing phenomenon. It majorly focuses on Priestley's Experiment. 

Experiments Related To Photosynthesis

This lesson will explore the working place of the 'Photosynthesis' and will give you some glimpses of the amazing revelations ahead. Also, you will study the sequence of events in the process of Photosynthesis. Let's begin. 

Site And Scheme Of Photosynthesis

In this lesson, you will study about the concept of 'Light Harvesting Complex which traps the sunlight to be used in the process. You will be amazed to know this junction where Physics, Chemistry and Biology will meet as it will involve electric charge transfer and formation of NADPH2 in the Chloroplast. Want to watch it now?

Pigments In Photosynthesis Part 1

This is continuation of the last lesson. You will watch, how sunlight is trapped with the help of multiple pigments, why leaves are multi-colored and what constitutes the two Photosystems. Witness, how efficient is the working of these LHC to trap maximum possible sunlight for making food & oxygen for themselves, and to the whole planet. Let us see.


Pigments In Photosynthesis Part 2

This lesson focuses on the understanding of Chlorophyll, the process of Light Reaction- Photolysis of water, the significance of photolysis and significance of light reaction. All the above are explained with illustrations for you guys to have a better understanding. 

Overview Of Light Reaction

In this lesson, there is an overview of electron transport system. It highlights the importance of electron transport system, what it does, where it happens and its utility. There is an illustration which thoroughly explains the process and the parts of the system. It also sheds light on Cyclic electron transport system.

Electron Transport System - Importance, Process And Utility

In this lesson, the cyclic and non-cyclic photophosphorylation is explained. It gives a thorough explanation on the Calvin cycle, the types of photophosphorylation and the key facts related to it. 

Photo-phosphorylation: Introduction And Types

The lesson helps gain an understanding of the Calvin cycle, which is also called the dark reaction. It has three stages: Carboxylation, Reduction and Regeneration. Each of these stages is thoroughly explained along with the help of illustrations. 

Dark Reaction - C3 Cycle And Its Stages

This lesson gives us an overview of Bacterial Photosynthesis where certain bacteria are capable of photosynthesis. They are Chlorobium, Chromatium and Rhodospirillium. Each of these is explained along with an illustration to help you get a better understanding of this concept. 

Bacterial Photosynthesis - Overview And Types

This lesson is part of the second collection dealing with Photosynthesis. This particular lesson focuses on a chemiosmotic hypothesis. We learn how adenosine triphosphate is synthesised in the chloroplast and what the chemiosmosis requires for being activated. There is an illustration which will help in understanding this concept. 


Gaining An Insight Into Chemiosmotic Hypothesis

This lesson is an overview of Photo-Respiration. This is a process where the enzyme RuBisCo oxygenates RuBP, causing some of the energy produced by photosynthesis to be wasted. After this, there are various illustrations that help in understanding the concept of Photo-Respiration. 



Photorespiration: An Overview

In this lesson, Vimal Singh Rathore explains the anatomy of the C4 cycle which is also known as Kranz anatomy and the importance of it. C4 carbon fixation is one of the three biochemical processes, along with C3 and CAM photosynthesis which is used to fix carbon. It gives a bird's eye view on the Hatch and Slack pathway and Leaf Anatomy.

C4 Plants: Kranz Anatomy

This lesson deals with C4 pathway. It begins by explaining the pathway and why it is special. It then explains the leaf anatomy with the help of an illustration. There is a highlight on Mesophyll cell and Bundlesheath cell. 

C4 Pathway - Mesophyll And Bundlesheath Cells

This lesson begins with an introduction to Crassulacean Acid Metabolism which is also known as CAM photosynthesis. It is a carbon fixation pathway that evolved in some plants as an adaptation to arid conditions. The lesson then gives an overview of where it was discovered, some examples of it and the process that occurs in the CAM pathway. There is also a brief on adaptive photosynthesis.

CAM Pathway : Significance & Process

The lesson deals with some of the major factors that are affecting Photosynthesis. These are broadly divided into internal and external factors. Some of the internal factors are dependent on the genetic composition and the growth of the plant. The external factors would include the availability of sunlight, temperature, CO2 concentration and water. In the end of the lesson, there is a highlight on Blackman's Law of Limiting Factors.

Internal And External Factors Affecting Photosynthesis

The lesson begins with an overview of wavelength, red, blue and green light effect, some interesting facts and light intensity. There is also a bird's eye view of the duration of light and few other factors that affect photosynthesis. An illustration in between the lesson will help in a better understanding of the concept.

Factors: Light (Quality, Intensity And Duration)

This lesson focuses on Carbon dioxide in Photosynthesis. The lesson begins by explaining the factors that affect the photosynthesis because of the Carbon Dioxide. It then highlights the CO2 compensation point.

Effect Of Carbon Dioxide On Photosynthesis

The lesson begins by explaining the factors of temperature like optimum temperature range, denaturation of enzymes, conifer and lichens, tropical plants and light reactions. There is a highlight on water and its effects on photosynthesis.

Effects Of Water & Temperature On Photosynthesis

This lesson is the summary of all the 19 lectures on Photosynthesis Process in Plants. It begins with a small introduction to Photosynthesis and makes us understand the entire process in less than 10 minutes.
