Introducing: Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is the means by which plants make use of chorophyll and light to produce energy. This sections attempts to give an overview of the mechanics involved in this cellular process.

To view the VRML animation, you need to have a VRML plug-in for your browser. We are currently using CosmoPlayer. This is a free plug-in developed by Cosmosoftware. The following URL (http://vcell.ndsu.edu/software.htm) will connect you to the a VCell site where you can get the software and instructions on how it should be installed. Once the software is installed you can return here and view the animations.

NOTE: The power of VRML is that you can get close to the action. Fly up to a section of the animation to see what is happening. We have incorporated a lot of detail to help the learning process.
