They found that photosynthesis rates were higher during the day in tanks containing fish, probably helped by the fish's fin strokes wafting away water containing high levels of oxygen.

«During photosynthesis plants bind atmospheric carbon, whose isotopic composition is preserved in resins over millions of years, and from this, we can infer atmospheric oxygen concentrations,» explains Ralf Tappert.

One of these — carbon - 14 — is taken up by trees during photosynthesis and is «fixed» in the tree's annual growth ring.

Billions of planktonic organisms, too tiny to be seen with the naked eye, make this valuable service possible: When carbon dioxide from the atmosphere dissolves in seawater, various species convert it to organic carbon and other organic components during photosynthesis.

Different strategies emerged during the evolution of natural photosynthesis to collect light in antenna systems and to guide it into the reaction center.

Methods: During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide and convert it into carbon - based sugars needed to grow and live.

Living in colonies, the cyanobacteria produced oxygen during the process of photosynthesis, which generated the oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere that many living beings require today.

Cyanobacteria, also known as blue - green algae, follow a similar pattern, engaging in photosynthesis and growth during day and «rest» and energy conservation at night.

Compared to forests, croplands are less efficient in transpiration, a daytime process where water evaporates from leaves during photosynthesis and cools the air.

Due to the tendency of plants to use the lighter form of carbon during photosynthesis, the change in the ratio of heavy carbon to light carbon in the atmosphere reflects a massive increase in global plant growth.

Forests absorb carbon dioxide from the air during photosynthesis, releasing oxygen back into the air and storing captured carbon in trunks, branches, roots, and soil.

And we exist because in eating the carbon dioxide during photosynthesis the oxygen in it is released, how Earth got its oxygen atmosphere in the first place.

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

Plants also carry out the opposite process — known as respiration — in which they emit carbon dioxide, but generally in smaller amounts than they take in during photosynthesis.

Given that during the night the Earth gives back to space all the energy it receives from the Sun during the day, making due allowance for that temporarily stored by photosynthesis and other natural processes, maybe your peanut might loom quite large in the affairs of men.

The variety in carbon isotopes reflects the photosynthesis of the trees, which in turn is largely dependent on the amount of solar radiation available during the summer.

Likewise when ocean concentrations of H + ions increase, they more readily bond to the bicarbonate and carbonate ions to minimize the drop in pH and form more CO2, which can be quickly utilized during 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.
