  • We get energy by eating other organisms, but plants don't have to do that. They can build their own food out of water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight. I'm sure you've heard of photosynthesis before, but let's take a look at some of the finer points, shall we?

    Professor, in your video you say that 1 electron is excited by the photon. However, 2 electrons from water are used to replenish chlorophyll, and it takes 2 electrons to reduce NADP+ to NADPH, so where does the other electron come from?

    • @ProfessorDaveExplains
      @ProfessorDaveExplains  6 лет назад +3

      just one electron per reduction! notice the charge changes by one only. i think it's just the coefficients of the balanced equation that can get confusing.

  • @nelsonphysics
    @nelsonphysics 5 лет назад +5

    Great video! One minor correction: at 2:00 you refer to the ring structure of chlorophyll as porphyrin. It is in fact a chlorin ring, since it only has 20 π electrons and is therefore not fully aromatic like porphyrin (with 22 π electrons).

    question. If one CO2 gives off two 3PGA, and each 3PGA makes one G3P, and out of every 6 G3P only one goes towards glucose production, that means 3 CO2s only produced 1 net G3P, right? So my question is, wouldnt that mean we need 18 CO2 to produce one glucose? Why do all textbooks say we only need 6?
