Photosynthesis: Turning Light into Sugar

Explore how light energy becomes chemical energy inside chloroplasts.

Leaf surface · 1/5

Light does not become sugar as it is; it begins a journey of conversion

Light that reaches the leaf does not turn straight into sugar. It first passes the entrances of the leaf surface, the stomata, and the chloroplast, changing form into an electron flow and energy molecules before being handed to sugar-making.

The whole picture: Photosynthesis overview.

Start with Photosynthesis Flow alone and look once through the five scenes from leaf to chloroplast.
