Photosynthesis
Plants capture light energy using chlorophyll inside the chloroplast.
In the light-dependent reactions, water is split and oxygen is released.
The Calvin cycle fixes carbon dioxide into glucose.

How it works
Paste notes, upload a file, record a lecture — or try our sample lesson on photosynthesis.
Prepare for an exam, understand a topic, or review. Start with a quiz, flashcards, notes or a summary.
We prepare your material while you sign up. Then practise, ask questions, and come back for more.
One set of notes. More ways to study.
A study space keeps a subject’s material, the activities you create from it, and your AI tutor together — so nothing gets scattered.
Cards are generated from your material. Rate each one — Again, Hard, Good or Easy — and the cards you find harder come back sooner.
Answer practice questions with explanations, or sit a timed mock exam with a mix of question types. Multiple-choice and true/false are marked instantly.
Get structured notes, a concise overview, or a one-page cheat sheet to revisit the night before.
Turn a chapter into a spoken lesson or a two-voice conversation for the walk, the bus, or a break from screens.
What pigment absorbs light energy?
Chlorophyll
Which stage releases oxygen?
Why: water is split during the light-dependent reactions, releasing O₂.
Photosynthesis in 4 lines
ASo why does the leaf need light at all?
BLight powers the first stage — it’s where water gets split.
Practise what you’ve learned
Flip, then rate how well you remembered.
Not for long. The Calvin cycle runs on ATP and NADPH — and those are made in the light-dependent reactions. Think of stage one as charging the battery, and stage two as spending it to build glucose.

Turn lectures into organised notes
Hit record in class. The audio is transcribed for you.
Turn the transcript into organised notes, then simplify a tricky passage or ask for an example.
Play the chapter as an audio lesson or a short podcast.
Run through the flashcards that are due and keep your streak going.
“…so the thylakoid membrane is where the light-dependent reactions take place…”
“…and remember, the Calvin cycle doesn’t directly need light…”
“…ATP and NADPH carry the energy across…”
• Thylakoid membrane
• Light-independent · uses ATP + NADPH
Add variety to revision
Games, your own notes, ready-made resources and a gentle nudge each day — more ways to keep revision moving when the textbook stops working.
Put the stages in order.
Light-dependent reactions
The light-dependent reactions occur in the thylakoid membranes and generate ATP and NADPH via photophosphorylation.
Ready-made material, by level.
Sorting, sequencing, crosswords and cause-and-effect matching — built from your material when it suits the format.
Draft your own notes, then simplify a passage, add an example or make a mnemonic in a click.
Browse resources by subject and level, and add them straight to a study space.
Ask any study question with attachments, and set a daily reminder time that fits your routine.

Questions
Anything else? Get in touch.
PDFs, Word documents, PowerPoint files, images and text files. You can also paste notes directly, or record a lecture and use the transcript.
Yes. Choose “Try a sample” and start with a short lesson on photosynthesis.
Free includes AI chat plus notes, quizzes, mock exams and basic flashcards, with smaller monthly allowances for messages, generations and uploads.
Yes. Every study space has an AI tutor that answers using your material, and shows source references when they’re available.
After revealing an answer, rate it Again, Hard, Good or Easy. Cards you find harder come back sooner; ones you know well wait longer.
Not yet. Multiple-choice and true/false questions are graded automatically. Written answers are saved so you can review them, but they aren’t marked.
Yes — record audio, get a transcript, and turn it into organised notes. Transcription is included on paid plans.
Audio lessons and podcasts, AI note assistance, transcription and PDF export start on Student. Pro adds premium subscription resources. Both plans have higher allowances.
Your materials are used to create your study activities and stay in your account. See our Privacy Policy for full details.
Check it against your source — the tutor shows references where it can. AI can make mistakes, so treat it as a study partner rather than the final word, and ask a follow-up question if something doesn’t add up.
