What are some unanswered questions about photosynthesis

Here's one I found interesting.

Can we ever beat photosynthesis?

-It’s one of the holy grails of energy; coming up with a material for capturing the energy of the sun which can beat the efficiency of photosynthesis. This is an incredibly challenging problem, to say the least. And it’s one that could have an outsize impact on our very way of life, leading to energy from water splitting and biomass from energy conversion.

can photosynthesis ever work at night from the light of the moon?

can plants photosynthesize the whole day?

does photosynthesis need carbon dioxide?

theres a few :D

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
