Photosynthesis in Higher Plants
Green leaves turn sunlight into food that feeds almost all life. This chapter in NCERT Class 11 Biology, Chapter 11, traces where photosynthesis occurs, pigments, light and dark reactions, electron transport, ATP and NADPH formation, Calvin cycle, C3 and C4 pathways, photorespiration and factors like light, carbon dioxide and temperature. It explains experiments that revealed the path of carbon. You will learn why leaves look green, how crops differ in efficiency, and how water and air shape yield.
