Six short videos use 3D computer animation to show the dynamic process of photosynthesis at the molecular level. Starting with the historic discoveries of Joseph Priestley, Jan Ingenhousz, and Jean Senebier, this miniseries examines the absorption of light by plants and follows the energy pathways to the production of carbohydrates and other organic materials. Programs also explore the Calvin cycle as it functions in carbon-3 and carbon-4 plants and the fluid transport system that delivers water and nutrients throughout the plant structure.
