Photobiology is the study of the interactions between light (particularly UV, visible, and infrared radiation) and living organisms. This interdisciplinary field encompasses various aspects, including: 1. **Photosynthesis**: Understanding how plants, algae, and some bacteria convert light energy into chemical energy. 2. **Photoreception**: Investigating how organisms perceive light, which is essential for processes like circadian rhythms, navigation, and phototropism (growth towards light).
