How the Human Body Would Be Different If It Could Photosynthesize Like a Plant

Reactions explained how the human body would be different if it could photosynthesize like a plant. The video also explains how photosynthesis works, and the basic reasons why humans don’t do it.

From chloroplasts to carbon dioxide, Reactions creates a hypothetical photosynthetic human and gives a quick crash course on the chemistry of photosynthesis.
