Photosynthesis - Light Dependent Reactions and the Calvin Cycle

This biology video tutorial provides a basic introduction into photosynthesis - the process by which plants use energy from sunlight to convert Carbon Dioxide and Water into Oxygen gas and sugars such as Glucose. Photosynthesis can be broken into two stages: The light dependent reactions and the light independent reactions also known as the Calvin Cycle or dark reactions. In the light dependent reactions, Water is oxidized into Oxygen gas by Photosystem II which transports the electrons in through the electron transport chain inside the thylakoid membrane eventually producing high energy molecules like ATP and NADPH. ATP is produced by the enzyme ATP Synthase in a process called Chemiosmosis very similar to cellular respiration. The Calvin Cycle takes in CO2, ATP, and NADPH to produce G3P which is later used to make sugars like Glucose and Fructose.

watched this guy a few days ago before my calculus exam... now im back for biology... this man should get my degree

trust me this vid is all you need to understand what is going on with photosynthesis when you get there, my teacher couldnt make us understand the same content in 2 separate lectures NJEGNJGNJE

I'm 23 years old and I don't know what's going on, too. 😭

[@saurishs]

I don't think the video said this (at least I didn't catch it), but during the conversion of the 5G3P back into 3RuBP, it requires the usage of 3ATP -> 3ADP to receive the phosphate group - this is what makes the net count 9 ATP and not 6 ATP.

[@ziadlehra]

Thank you for posting biology-related topics on your channel. I've been having a difficult time in AP Biology and thought back to the times when I used your Algebra 2 videos over the summer. You're a great teacher and helpful when reviewing topics learned. I plan on watching these videos and hopefully I'll be able to improve my grades

[@damianrico2433]

I have used your videos for my math and biology class. Thank you for the way you explain the material, i makes way more sense than just reading from a book.

[@Zohan8910]

ATP Synthesis is probably one of the coolest things I have ever seen. 11:18 Im in awe, biology is so fascinating...

You are the man! Just learnt this in class today, but after watching this, I feel more confident. Thanks!

[@serene9737]

When I see your videos, I understand even the trickiest concepts with ease. You are awesome JG!!

[@lesliechirino809]

Thank you sooo much. I’ve been confused with this topic for a while now. My ap bio teacher confuses me more, and I end up more lost, but you make it so much easier to understand!!

[@hunterlord25]

For anyone stumbling about with this specific part; it's 9 ATP/ADP in the summary due to 6 ATP/ADP forming during reduction and 3 ATP/ADP during regeneration.

[@logitpaul3846]

I don't know what I can say but you are the best teacher I have ever had on earth

[@SalzyeeGMD]

Thank you bro, I don’t think I would have passed this quiz without you. 8th grade honors bio is probably the hardest class I’ve even taken because the teacher is not so good. She’s chill but not great at teaching. You break down everything in a way where I can actually understand what’s going on. Once again thank you 🙏
