Hello!
I'm working on a science fair project that centers around carbon capture and sequestration. I was wondering if there was a way to mock photosynthesis outside of plant cells? Any information helps. Thank you!

Re: Photosynthesis
Hi Arielle,
There are ways to mimic photosynthesis in the laboratory setting, but they are quite complicated and would require the collaboration of a lab mentor.
Look at this previous post for details:

There are a lot of links in that post to help you decide whether this is the project for you.
Please post again (in this same thread) if you have more questions.

Thank you!
I'm not sure if I will proceed with this project or not, but the link you have provided was a great help.

Re: Photosynthesis
Hello!
So I decided to pursue my study on artificial photosynthesis and I contacted a professor at UC Davis. He replied saying he would answer any questions I have. This may be my opportunity to work in a lab, but I have no idea how to make artificial photosynthesis into a project. Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Re: Photosynthesis
Hi Arielle,
Part of doing a science project is coming up with a question that you want to answer! I can't really decide that for you, but one idea is to compare the efficiency of different setups for artificial photosynthesis. Alternatively, you could explore how different wavelengths of light affect the output of your setup.
I hope that gets you thinking. I think it's time for you to do some background research and develop some questions of your own. Post again if you need help narrowing down your ideas!
Best,
Heather
