Understanding Photosynthesis and the Emerald Elysia

The video explores how plants use sunlight to make food through photosynthesis, using green leaves. It introduces the emerald elysia, a sea slug that can photosynthesize by consuming algae and using their chloroplasts. The video explains the role of chloroplasts in photosynthesis and how the slug can survive without food for a year by harnessing this process. The video concludes with a call to action to subscribe for more learning.
