Plants and animals have many similarities when it comes to what they need to survive. Both need water and air. We often think of animals using oxygen and glucose for cellular respiration and producing ...

If you memorize the photosynthesis equation, you've also memorized the cellular respiration equation. That's because respiration is the exact opposite as photosynthesis with one small difference.

Cambridge researchers have created a living bio-battery using photosynthetic algae, producing continuous electricity and offering a sustainable alternative to disposable batteries.

Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...
