Bibliography

Audesirk, Teresa, Gerald Audesirk, and Bruce E. Byers. 2011. Biology life on Earth. San Francisco, Calif: Benjamin Cummings. Biology textbook I used to research photosynthesis.

Blatner, David. 2012. Spectrums: our mindboggling universe from infinitesimal to infinity.

Lafferty, Peter. 1989. Energy and light. New York: Scholastic. Interesting book I used researching light, wavelengths, and photons.

Carambo, Cristobal. “The Dry-Sensitized Solar Cell.” Yale National Initiative: National Seminars.http://teachers.yale.edu/curriculum/viewer/initiative_16.04.02_u (accessed July 7, 2019). A useful article for understanding the deeper intricacies of photosynthesis.

Chalker-Scott, Linda. 2015. How plants work: the science behind the amazing things plants do. I only read a few chapters of this book, but I found its contents very interesting in my research.

Royal Society of Chemistry. “Photosynthesis” rsc.org. https://www.rsc.org/Education/Teachers/Resources/cfb/Photosynthesis.htm Informative website used to research photosynthesis.

Stockley, Corinne, Chris Oxlade, Jane Wertheim, G. Smith, Kuo Kang Chen, and Kirsteen Rogers. 2007. The Usborne illustrated dictionary of science: physics, chemistry, biology. Tulsa, Okla: EDC Pub. Excellent science resource book used to research light, photosynthesis, and food chains.

Taiz, Lincoln, and Eduardo Zeiger. 2010. Plant physiology. Sunderland (Mass.): Sinauer. Interesting book about plants that I used to research photosynthesis.

Walker, David, and Richard Walker. 1993. Energy, plants and man. Brighton: Oxygraphics. This provided a wealth of knowledge about photosynthesis.
