Photosynthesis & Respiration Interactive Guide
AQA / Edexcel A-Level Biology
Photosynthesis and respiration are two of the most heavily examined topics in A-Level Biology. This interactive guide lets you explore each stage in detail — the light-dependent reactions and Calvin cycle for photosynthesis, and glycolysis, the link reaction, Krebs cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation for respiration. Toggle between processes, follow the flow of carbon, hydrogen, and energy carriers (ATP, NADH, FADH2), and build the conceptual understanding needed for 25-mark synoptic essays.
