BIOLOGY - Plant Biology - Photosynthesis and Respiration

The video tutorial explores the carbon cycle, focusing on how carbon dioxide is absorbed by plants and used in photosynthesis to create oxygen and carbohydrates. It explains the process of respiration, where oxygen and carbohydrates are converted back into carbon dioxide and water, releasing energy. The role of enzymes and chlorophyll in these processes is discussed, along with a comparison between respiration and combustion. The tutorial highlights the importance of these reactions in sustaining life and the potential for green energy solutions.
