- Utilization of the energy of the sunlight by photosynthesis is the basis for life on earth (How did photosynthesis begin?; Pigments capture the energy of sunlight; Light absorption excites a chlorophyll molecule; An Antenna is required to capture light);
- Photosynthesis is an electron transport process (The photosynthetic machinery is constructed from modules; An oxidant and a reductant are formed during photosynthesis; Function of a photosynthetic reaction centre; Two photosynthetic reaction centres are arranged in sequence in the photosynthesis of algae and plants; Water is split by Photosystem II; The cytochrome b6/f complex mediates the electron trasnport between photosystem I and II; Photosystem I reduces NADP);
- ATP is generated by photosynthesis (A proton gradient serves as an energy-rich intermediate state during ATP synthesis; Uncouplers dissipate the electrochemical proton gradient into heat);
- The Calvin cycle is the reaction pathway for photosynthetic CO2 assimilation (CO2 assimilation proceeds via the photosynthetic dark reactions; Ribulosebisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase catalyses CO2 fixation; Triose phosphates are formed by the reduction of 3-phosphoglycerate; There is a reductive and an oxidative pentose phosphate cycle; Regulation of the pentose phosphate cycles)
