Photosynthesis—the Photophosphorylation reaction

 Well, since we                                      Yay!!
 were able to
find such a nice

      gazebo...

       Why don't we
        continue our
        lessons out

          here in the
               park?

                                                                 Um, are you sure
                                                                 the lab wouldn’t

                                                                      be better?

    But we're going to                               I guess...
discuss photosynthesis!

             Don't you think it's more
         fitting to study under a blue
           sky than to shut ourselves

              off in the laboratory?

  Oh, I already learned about                                          But do you know how
 photosynthesis! Humans can't                                    plants produce oxygen and
                                                              saccharides from sunlight? Do
           do it—only plants!                                 you know how the process of

They use sunlight and carbon                                         photosynthesis works?
dioxide to create oxygen and
                                                                          Urk
         saccharides, right?

                                        Yes, That's
                                         correct!
