Cyber-spinach turns CO2 into sugar

Great news! This is the second blog post (see here) in less than two weeks about synthetic chloroplasts converting CO2 into useful chemical compounds!

Global Warming (aka climate change) is a hoax!





Cyber-spinach turns sunlight into sugar Combination of biological membrane and artificial chemistry could power future synthetic organisms.

Artificial chloroplasts turn sunlight and carbon dioxide into organic compounds

Global Warming (aka as Climate Change) is a hoax! Nothing beats human ingenuity! This process is probably a bit slow and inefficient, but it is only a matter of time and effort to fix that!

This is what I call recycling!

"Photosynthesis is a two-step process. In chloroplasts, chlorophyll molecules absorb sunlight and pass the extra energy to molecular partners that use it to generate the energy-storing chemicals adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH). A suite of other enzymes working in a complex cycle then use ATP and NADPH to convert CO2 from the air into glucose and other energy-rich organic molecules that the plant uses to grow."
