The transformation of light energy into chemical energy, known as photosynthesis, involves pigments in plant cells that capture light, initiating a series of reactions. Photovoltaics, on the other hand, convert sunlight directly into electricity using semiconducting materials like silicon.

Photovoltaics: Optics is used to design and optimize photovoltaic cells, which are used to convert light energy into electrical energy.

Photovoltaics: PV uses semiconducting materials such as silicon to produce electricity from sunlight

Photosynthesis: The process by which plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to create oxygen and energy in the form of sugar.

Photosynthesis: Special pigments in chloroplasts of plant cells absorb the energy of certain wavelengths of light, causing a molecular chain reaction known as the light-dependent reactions of photosynthesis. The best wavelengths of visible light for photosynthesis fall within the blue range

Photosynthesis: The process in which light energy is converted to chemical energy in the form of sugars.

Optical Sensors: Small devices that convert chemical information (concentration, activity, partial pressure) into a measurable signal.

Optical Sensors: Optical sensors have the ability to detect light, typically at a specific range of the electromagnetic spectra (ultraviolet, visible, and infrared).

Lasers: Lasers that track changes in atoms and molecules.

Lasers: A laser is created when electrons in the atoms in optical materials like glass, crystal, or gas absorb the energy from an electrical current or a light.

Fluorescence: The ability of certain chemicals to give off visible light after absorbing radiation which is not normally visible, such as ultraviolet light.

Fluorescence: The ability of certain chemicals to give off visible light after absorbing radiation which is not normally visible, such as ultraviolet light.

Chromatography: A way to separate stuff in a mixture.

Chromatography: A way to separate particles and that balances optics and fluidic forces.

Spectroscopy: The study of the absorption and emission of light and other radiation by matter, as related to the dependence of these processes on the wavelength of the radiation.

Spectroscopy: A versatile and non-invasive technique that can be used to study a wide range of materials.

Environmental studies: Involves the study of the effects that chemicals have on the air, water and soil and how they impact the environment and human health.

Environmental studies: Examines the ways organisms, species, and communities influence, and are impacted by, natural and human-altered ecosystems.

Biotechnology: Technology that utilizes biological systems, living organisms or parts of this to develop or create different products.

Biotechnology: The application of the life sciences to chemical synthesis.

Cellular respiration: A series of chemical reactions that break down glucose to produce ATP

Cellular respiration: The process by which food, in the form of sugar (glucose), is transformed into energy within cells.

Macromolecules: A very large molecule having a polymeric chain structure.

Macromolecules: Large cellular components abundantly obtained naturally and are responsible for varieties of essential functions for the growth and survival of living organisms.

Metabolism: The chemical reactions in the body's cells that change food into energy.
