It is common knowledge that plants generate oxygen via photosynthesis. Have you ever challenged this knowledge? And, if so, how much oxygen do they generate? In my talk I will discuss the generation of oxygen from photosynthetic organisms and describe a simple method for measuring it. I will also discuss how the electrons generated by photosynthesis can be used to create electricity.
