Artificial photosynthesis is a chemical process that biomimics the natural process of photosynthesis. The term artificial photosynthesis is used loosely, referring to any scheme for capturing and then storing energy from sunlight by producing a fuel, specifically a solar fuel . [ 1 ]
Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) spans the visible light portion of the electromagnetic spectrum from 400 to 700 nanometers. Photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) designates the spectral range (wave band) of solar radiation from 400 to 700 nanometers that photosynthetic organisms are able to use in the process of photosynthesis.
Light harvesting materials harvest solar energy that can then be converted into chemical energy through photochemical processes. [1] Synthetic light harvesting materials are inspired by photosynthetic biological systems such as light harvesting complexes and pigments that are present in plants and some photosynthetic bacteria.

Hill also discovered Hill reagents, artificial electron acceptors that participate in the light reaction, such as Dichlorophenolindophenol (DCPIP), a dye that changes color when reduced. These dyes permitted the finding of electron transport chains during photosynthesis.
Light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis at the thylakoid membrane. Light-dependent reactions are certain photochemical reactions involved in photosynthesis, the main process by which plants acquire energy. There are two light dependent reactions: the first occurs at photosystem II (PSII) and the second occurs at photosystem I (PSI).
Most organisms forage, hunt, or use photosynthesis to get food, but around 50 million years ago — long before humans were around — ants began cultivating and growing their own food.
Photosynthesis occurs in two stages. In the first stage, light-dependent reactions or light reactions capture the energy of light and use it to make the hydrogen carrier NADPH and the energy-storage molecule ATP. During the second stage, the light-independent reactions use these products to capture and reduce carbon dioxide.
I don’t remember how I got home or who drove me home. I just remember going to bed and being woken up probably around 4:30, 5:00 in the morning by my dad. It was probably the first time I had ever seen my dad crying. He hadn’t turned the light on, and he sat down on the bed and put one hand on my head.
