In this lecture, I cover the concept of Photosynthesis, the mechanism that plants use to produce energy and to make their food from the energy they obtain from the sun. It’s the process of converting LIGHT energy into CHEMICAL energy. ATP is produced in this process.
I also get into why we see different colors in terms of what wavelengths of light are being absorbed vs reflected. Lastly, I go through the 2 stages of Photosynthesis: The light-dependent and light-independent reactions, with some custom animations to illustrate the steps of those reactions.
This is part Chapter 9 in the textbook Biology: The Dynamics of Life, which is the chapter on Energy of the Cell.
Outline
- What is Photosynthesis?
- Where Photosynthesis Happens
- Color: How it works
- The two Phases of Photosynthesis

Thank you so very much for making it so elementary for me. I cannot wait for my 2 children to come home from school (MPC Sint Maarten) to share your lecture with them.
By the way I know your Mom and Annick went to CUC with me………A looooong time ago.
I got this link from soencouragement.org.
Your are doing a GOOD job for Jesus! Keep it up!

I just saw the presentation and it's great!. I'm a science teacher and I'm sure tha now I have a better way to explain this issue to my students. thankyou!
Thanks Luisa,
I'm glad that I could help and I'm glad that it has helped give you a better way to explain these concepts to your students. Over time, I will be providing more and more resources to help with that. All the best!

Thank you soooo much Leslie, Im taking a bio3 class in smc and I had a hard time getting the concept of photosynthesis. your video helped a lot
Glad to know that it’s helping you out so much Elnaz. All the best with your class.
