Introduction

Thanks to technology, scientists have discovered a way to reduce human beings down to a microscopic size for limited periods of time. This technology is predictably being used in the fields of medicine, computer science, and biology. Recently, the travel industry has also found ways to utilize the technology by offering adventure trips into areas previously unavailable to full-sized humans.

You and your team are travel agents working in a futuristic eco-tourism agency called “Micro-adventures,” whose mission is to educate the public about ecological issues through exciting vacation packages. You are developing a new vacation trip into the chloroplast of the plant cell. The first tour will be given to politicians, environmentalists, and journalists. What do you want these tourists to learn about photosynthesis?
