Photosynthesis: Harvesting sunlight safely
Barbara Demmig-Adams1 & William W. Adams, III1
By harnessing the Sun's energy, photosynthesis provides the energy-rich and structural molecules (as well as oxygen) on which most life on this planet depends. Photosynthetic organisms, including green plants, have mastered the challenge of harvesting sunlight efficiently at one moment and then safely disposing of dangerous excess excitation energy the next.
