Episode description

After finishing our quite extensive foray into leaf structure, function, and modifications, we finally start to look at what is arguably the main purpose of leaves: absorbing light energy, and using that energy to fix carbon dioxide.

In this lecture we will discuss the discovery of photosynthesis, and the general principle of the process.
