Animated Music Video 5'51 : https://youtu.be/1D74e1BL_Jg Photosynthesis is a two-part process that starts with the light reactions. See, step-by-step, how the plant uses energy from the sun to produce ATP and NADPH, the energy-rich compounds needed to produce sugar in the Calvin cycle, part two of photosynthesis. Watch how oxygen gas is formed and released to the air during this process - the very oxygen that sustains life on Earth! Suitable for high school through college-level students.

Animated Music Video 5'13 : https://youtu.be/CvtbMdM4Wfo Learn how the Calvin cycle, also called the light-independent reactions of photosynthesis, helps plants make glucose, the plants' major source of fuel. See how the plant uses carbon dioxide from the air, enzymes, and ATP and NADPH from the light reactions to produce the three carbon sugar G3P, the building block of glucose. The three phases of the Calvin cycle: Carbon Fixation, PGA Reduction, and the Regeneration of RuBP are described in a unique, exciting way. Suitable for high school through college-level students.
