Photosynthesis--the capture of light energy by living organisms -is
a simple enough concept, but its investigation draws on the
resources of disciplines from all fields of science. The aim of
this text is to provide a clear, stimulating and essentially
affordable coverage for undergraduate students of biology. The
activity of science is debate and practical experiment; its product
is a body of propositions which at any given time reflects the
judgment and prejudices of those taking part. The value of a
proposition is related to the conceivable alternatives, and writing
it down without its context creates the false impression that
science progresses by compilation of an increasing list of absolute
truths. It does not; the facts and figures pres ented in the
following pages have no intrinsic value unless they can be used by
the reader to support an argument or point of view. In short, the
reader is urged to respond 'So what?' to every item. Secondly,
ideas-like other foods-should be date-stamped; science is
inseparable from its history. I have set out time-charts to
represent the evolution of our understanding in certain areas. I
have assumed that the reader is pursuing a course with a content of
biochemistry, microbiology and plant science, or has access to
basic texts. I have assumed also that common methods such as
spectrophotometry, chromatography and electrophoresis, as well as
the techniques of mol ecular biology, will be either part of the
same course or in active use nearby."
