Hi

[@MohanapriyaMPriya]

Thank you

[@outlander271]

Once again clear fluent narration and excellent graphics.

[@Penguinprof]

So glad you found it helpful! Thanks for watching!

[@soccerismylife514]

watched this when I took AP bio my senior year & helped me get the highest grade on the photosynthesis test... watching this again for my botany class in university and still super helpful!! thank you!!

[@djBLOOMchalGA]

The way you break a concept down into a narrative is beautiful! I grasp the whole concept now thanks to you!

[@daltonperote1174]

This video is quite simple, yet makes you realize basically what photosynthesis is, what is very good when you don't get a goddamn thing of what this messed up process is at first.

[@nightofdarkangels]

I'm German and all the German videos on youtube leave important things (like the photosystem I) out or are way too hard to understand. So yeah, that video was very helpful. I finally get it :D

[@archiesauls3672]

I WISH we had used this for class! Seriously, we just had a test over this in my botany class, and I think we would have been WAY more prepared if we watched this video. 100,000 likes!

Dude you saved my science grade..... Thank you so much!! Very helpful

[@kemuelfavour9292]

Wow ,you've simplified this complex part of photosynthesis for me .

[@Penguinprof]

I am SO happy to hear that!

[@dexsullivan]

Wow... I'm doing a research paper on the mechanics of photosynthesis for a botany class and I need 5 scholarly and peer reviewed articles. After watching this, I now feel like I don't need to look up anything else. I don't know how you made it so easy to take in, bravo! Cheers from the drummer in Super Space Nation!!!! Rock on!

[@padellaro90]

I'm Italian but I can certainly say that this video was easier to understand than all video (in italian) that I've seen before, THANK YOU VERY MUCH! =D

[@FannyRofalina]

This is the first video I've watch from this channel, and I fall in love right away. Your presentation is neat. And you talk very smoothly. Thank you so much..

[@daltonperote1174]

The electrons actually come from the excited pair of chlorophylls from the reaction Center of PSII. Here's what happens: 1) LHC captures light and absorbs photons, bouncing the photons through chlorophyll molecules of LHC; 2) The photons go from the LHC to the pair of chlorophylls (chls) to the Reaction Center (RC) of PSII, which has a pair of chorophylls called chlorophylls P680, that is, these chls absorb light at a wavelength of 680 nm; 3) These photons make the chlp680 molecules become excited, i.e., the double bonds from the porphyrin head of chls are broken, RELEASING electrons from the pair of chls. thus, the chlp680 molecules get excited (P680+), releasing (e-) from their broken double bond reactions; 4) the released electrons from the pair of chl680s move to the next acceptor of electrons called PHEOPHYTIN, which is a molecule of chlorophyll WITHOUT the Mg2+ chelated by the porphyrin head of chl. In summary, Pheophytin is like a molecule of chl lacking its magnesium ion. 5) the pheophytin by its turn, transfers the electrons to quinones (Q) bound to proteins from the reaction center. These electrons then will migrate from quinones from PSII to PlastoQuinones (PQ), and then these PQs will transfer the electrons to the Cytochrome B6F complex. 6) but HEY!! What ABOUT THE PAIR OF CHLS FROM RC THAT LOST THEIR ELECTRONS ?? The PSII complex has also an enzimatic subdivision called WATER OXIDIZING COMPLEX (WOC), which as the name says, it's gonna oxidize H2O to O2, producing electrons (e-) and H+ ions.Keep in mind that this complex has manganese (Mn) and Calcium (Ca) as cofactors. 7) the electrons generated from WOC will replace the lost ones by the pair of chls from the Reaction Center of PSII, thus restarting the process. 8) so the overall process is: LIGHT (photons) >> LHC >> RC chl 680 >> (photons) >> RC chl680+ >> e- >> Pheo >> Quinones attached to proteins in PSII >> electrons leave PSII and go to PQs >> Cytochrome BCF. WOC >> H2O => O2 + e- + H+ >> e- => chlP680+ >> chlP680.

[@PAL2001]

The most helpful video I have ever watched, you have saved my grade, thank you so much.

[@ebtehalali8413]

The best video about the light reaction and calvin cycle😍 Thank u so much😇😇

[@martingachagua4554]

Good Narration. Excellent Flow Of Tone. Unassuming previews of later complex stuff.

[@Penguinprof]

Thanks so much!

[@wade5941]

EXCELLANT!! I can't help but wonder what role very high concentrations (relative to today) of atmospheric CO2 during the Cambrian Period had in the explosion of life on earth during that period. Was that increase in CO2 actually a prerequisite for the explosion of life during the Period. RuBisCo most abundant protein on earth. More CO2 in the atmosphere equates to more carbon for organic compounds into glucose and more life. Just thinking out loud.

[@junemuch5650]

Your the best!! my exam board uses slightly different terms tho. but non-the less I now understand. thank you so much.

[@XxMel0dyx]

Thank you so much, I just realized how much my school sucks, they never explained this as clear as this. THANK YOU

Awww... thanks so much!!!! I'm glad it was helpful!

[@prasobhpanchami]

Please make video lessons on all kinds of subjects...The way you present the subjects is easy to understand and you have a good selection of slides as well.

[@bellabunny52]

this helped me tremendously before my test, you explain everything so clearly! thankyou so much! :)

[@absaragih]

its really really awesome helpful for me to understand. Thanks a lot, prof penguin.

[@Penguinprof]

You are really welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@julissavesely1710]

Hey I'm just a little confused still... So in the light reactions, it says that the light energizes the electrons... are the electrons ALREADY in the plant, or is the light the electrons???????

[@jeniif.m3894]

Those electrons come from water.

[@hanyfayez1964]

Thank you very much.Your videos are so much fun helped me well.Wow Hany

[@efidabush1]

Really the explanations are so clear! Thanks and greatings from Kibutz Nahsholim Israel

[@maraqidi]

why plants dose not become hot with Calvin reaction. All those ATPs and NADPHs are not 100% converted in those reaction, so what about the heat?

[@mrubuntuking5257]

The rate of cellular respiration in plants is too low to create a noticeable change in temperature, because cellular respiration simple isn't an essential part of the process in the way it is with mammals, but they do release heat energy into the atmosphere. It's pretty commonly taught that photosynthesis and cellular respiration are two entirely separate processes and an organism will always do only one or the other, but the reality is that it's just not scientifically relevant. Sure, it technically happens, but do you care that your fridge's coils technically heat up your house when your food stays cold and you have AC? Same concept here, considering them separate processes with no overlap is a view that makes more sense for future research, even if there are some trivial complications. Some plants (most notably skunk cabbage) do have a higher rate of cellular respiration that creates noticeable heat, but this is entirely coincidental and irrelevant to other plants or to the photosynthetic process. At some point the right gene flipped on in that particular species, and losing or keeping that mutation cost nothing, so it just proliferated at the rate determined by its degree of dominance.

[@JajaTheBalls]

Great video, thank you.

[@cabheat]

Great video, thanks for the help!

[@Ladygreynessincolour]

That was awesome. Thank you

[@sirenhalvorsen]

Have you made any interactive presentations based on this subject?

A pretty long video on Photosynthesis... LOL Thank ya

[@cathyny83]

Thanks for explaining about Photosynthesis. I have a question: What is required for the existence of Photosynthesis? If any of those went off, could it possibly still carry on but differently?

[@MichaelHarrisIreland]

Thanks for sharing your knowledge with the man in the street. Since all of it would stop if the sun didn't shine, could it be that the photons created the leaf in the first place.

[@huntera.4623]

You went into detail thank you oh my god.

[@Penguinprof]

OMG you are so welcome!

"You will never see a glowing plant, unless you have taken some interesting medication" Medication? Do you mean, illegal medicine? ( ° ʖ °)

What does the little i next to the phosphorus mean (it looks like "Pi" on the equation)?

[@Penguinprof]

it means 'inorganic' referring to the fact that it has been removed from the organic molecule.

[@sidneyeaston6927]

What happened to the other elements from the periodic table that sit in the enzymes and act as catalysts to perform magic, or do we just isolate the system to prove a scientific result and forget what makes it work. Add in the life that splits the elements from solids in the soil and prepares them for use by plants to create the whole picture and mention that the elements are present and dissolved in sea water for the plankton to absorb. Teaching is about giving knowledge not withholding it because you are too bone idle to include it.

[@wade5941]

It's a 14 1/2 min video with a limited scope aimed at basic biology students. Nothing happened to the other elements as they are still there, but beyond the scope of this particular presentation. You might want to refer to advanced biology textbooks for the information you seek.
