«Like most plants, wheat photosynthesises through its leaves, but we've discovered there is also photosynthesis in the seed.

According to University of British Columbia (UBC) research published this week in Scientific Reports, 30 per cent of the microbes in the Democratic Republic of the Congo's Kabuno Bay grow by a type of photosynthesis that oxidizes (rusts) iron rather than converting water into oxygen like plants and algae.

Much like the idea of vibronic interactions we reported on two years ago, it turns out that plants have evolved their solar energy technology (proteins in photosynthesis) to work at the quantum level.

Instead of harnessing the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide into plant food, artificial photosynthesis seeks to use the same starting ingredients to produce chemical precursors commonly used in synthetic products as well as fuels like ethanol.

Tropical forest trees, like all green plants, take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen during photosynthesis.

In the short - term cycle, carbon in the atmosphere is turned into plant material by photosynthesis, then returned to the atmosphere by processes like animal digestioIn the short - term cycle, carbon in the atmosphere is turned into plant material by photosynthesis, then returned to the atmosphere by processes like animal digestioin the atmosphere is turned into plant material by photosynthesis, then returned to the atmosphere by processes like animal digestion.

«It's a remarkable feat because it's highly unusual for an animal to behave like a plant and survive solely on photosynthesis,» said Debashish Bhattacharya, senior author of the study and distinguished professor in the Department of Biochemistry and Microbiology at Rutgers - New Brunswick.

More than 40 years ago, scientists discovered that one of the proteins involved in photosynthesis, called Photosystem 1 (PS1), continued to function when it was extracted from plants like spinach.

It's the Rastrera algae, and the colour is reflecting back mostly violet which makes sense as violet penetrates deeper than blue and, like green for plants above ground, not requiring it for photosynthesis it reflects this back which is what we see, and, a bit of blueygreen, which main green is absorbed in oceans before the shorter blue and violet wavelengths.

Simply speaking, volcanoes helped form the atmosphere while living organisms have helped shape the atmosphere to their liking in two ways: firstly by warming the planet to a liveable temperature by producing methane and carbon dioxide during the process of decay of dead matter, and secondly by creating oxygen through the process of photosynthesis by our green friends in the plant kingdom.
