2 Photosynthesis: Molecular Mechanisms Global Effects Győző Garab, Biological Research Center, Szeged, Hungary SAIP - UNISA, 2011

3 In this talk: 1. Why photosynthesis? 2. What is photosynthesis? 3. Some of own research

4 Why photosynthesis? (i) global effects: evolution & bio-geo.chemical cycles 6H CO 2 C 6 H 12 O 6 + 6O 2 light
