Photosynthesis in Higher Plants

In this topic, we will learn autotrophic nutrition, which is a process in which plants make their own food. By the method of Photosynthesis, they synthesise their own food with the help of carbon dioxide, water and solar energy.

This topic contains the experiments performed for the understanding of photosynthesis. It explains Joseph Priestley experiment, Julius Von Sachs experiment and Cornelius Van Neil experiment in detail.

In this topic, we will go through the various sites where photosynthesis takes place in the plants. We will also learn the site of photosynthesis through visual illustrations.

This topic details the pigments involved during photosynthesis including chlorophylls, xanthophylls and carotenoids. It also details the structures and functions of the pigments.

This topic deals with the light reaction of photosynthesis classified into photosystem I and II. We will also study the light harvesting complex with the wavelength required for the reaction to occur.

In this topic, we will study the electron transport chain in photosynthesis takes place in the mitochondria. We will also study the significance of electron transport chain.

In this topic, we will study the mechanism of photosynthesis which is a process of making food by plants on their own. It details the requirements and conditions for photosynthesis.

This topic covers concepts such as C4 Cycle and Kranz Anatomy.

The topic discusses the process of photorespiration. Photorespiration creates an important difference between C3 and C4 plants. We will also learn these differences in detail.

The topic discusses the factors affecting the process of photosynthesis. It describes the factors including light, concentration of carbon dioxide, temperature, and water.
