But Anesio's team has also found that organisms in these holes can have a cooling effect on the planet by actively sucking carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

Not only are they one of the most important carbon sinks, storing more carbon than both the atmosphere and the world's oil reserves, they also constantly remove carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, which converts atmospheric carbon to organic matter.

Kelp forests sequester (absorb and capture) CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.

This is because the amount of CO2 released from E85 during combustion is practically identical to the level of carbon dioxide the plants absorbed from the atmosphere through photosynthesis when they were growing.

The two numbers — CO2 leaving the atmosphere through photosynthesis and CO2 entering it through respiration — are both large and close in magnitude, with slightly more leaving the air than entering.

Not exact matches

That's a key question because through photosynthesis, land plants currently take up about a quarter of the CO2 humans add to the atmosphere each year, sequestering it as wood and as soil carbon.

They remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere — producing oxygen through photosynthesis and, in another process, forming the calcite plates that Huxley found so interesting.

In the springtime, there is a dramatic removal of carbon from the atmosphere as plants absorb carbon dioxide, using it through photosynthesis to fuel their growth.

The entire ocean — from the depths to the shallows — gets its oxygen supply from the surface, either directly from the atmosphere or from phytoplankton, which release oxygen into the water through photosynthesis.

Microbes in the oceans produce 50 % of the oxygen we breathe, and — through photosynthesis — remove roughly the same proportion of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

These chemicals are known as «biomarkers,» and the discovery of O2 in one of these distant atmospheres may lead us to believe that something biological is producing the molecule, as plants do on Earth through photosynthesis.

organism that can produce its own food and nutrients from chemicals in the atmosphere, usually through photosynthesis or chemosynthesis.

Through a process known as photosynthesis, most plants use the energy in sunlight to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, plus water, into simple sugars, which are used as building blocks and form the main structural components.

There are varying amounts given for the ocean's contribution to supplying the atmosphere with oxygen through photosynthesis, up to 90 % I've read.

Most ponds and lakes generally release more carbon dioxide into the atmosphere through the decomposition of organic material than they absorb through photosynthesis.

Atmospheric carbon is transferred from the atmosphere to soil carbon stores through plant photosynthesis and subsequent formation of secondary carbonates.

Right now, the only possibility of large - scale removal of greenhouse gases from the atmosphere is through plant photosynthesis and related land - based carbon sequestration activities.

Oxygen enters the ocean through two ways: interactions between its surface and the atmosphere, and as a photosynthesis byproduct from phytoplankton in upper layers of the ocean, much in the same way plants on land produce oxygen.

The carbon dioxide rich exhaust is then purified and fed into the atmosphere of the skyfarm to increase food production and convert it back to oxygen through photosynthesis.

Yes, I agree when deforestation of peat land converter to oil palm plantation, Co2 released to the atmosphere caused global warming but in the other hand when Oil Palm Plantation already established, it also can absorb Co2 through photosynthesis.

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.
