Photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and some bacteria use light energy to make organic molecules from carbon dioxide and water. The main product is carbohydrate, and oxygen is released as a by-product.

Step-by-step lessons covering Eduqas A Level Biology Photosynthesis uses light energy to synthesise organic molecules for A Level Biology. Each lesson works through exam-style questions in Component 1, Component 2 and Component 3 format. Build a strong foundation in cell biology and biochemistry early on, since later topics on genetics, ecology and physiology all draw on these core concepts.
