«Knowing how this happens is important for understanding the design principles used in natural photosynthesis,» Yachandra says.

Living Sunlight talks to young children about photosynthesis (a vital process that most adults would be hard put to explain) in a way that tells what is actually happening at the molecular level.

In this case wood may be laid down only on whichever side of the tree has sustained the least defoliation, as photosynthesis might only happen there.

The explanation for why autumn leaves put on such a display has to do with cooling weather and a drop in the chlorophyll that usually hides the other pigments of a leaf; the vivid colors were there all along, but green rules the roost as long as photosynthesis is happening.
