Sentences with phrase «during photosynthesis in plants»

It is produced during photosynthesis in plants, for example, and its production in skin cells has been linked to aging and cancer development.

Not exact matches

They do occur naturally as a plant breaks down nitrogen during photosynthesis, though they are also known to be commercially made and used in the preparation of some foods.

The simulations suggested that the indirect effects of increased CO2 on net primary productivity (how much carbon dioxide vegetation takes in during photosynthesis minus how much carbon dioxide the plants release during respiration) are large and variable, ranging from less than 10 per cent to more than 100 per cent of the size of direct effects.

In return the plant serves the fungus food made during photosynthesis.

To make things even fuzzier, the CO2 concentration in Hawaii quickly dipped below 400 ppm as plants greened during the Northern Hemisphere's growing season, soaking up CO2 through photosynthesis.

Because plants take up CO2 during photosynthesis, it has long been assumed that they will provide a large carbon «sink» to help offset increases in atmospheric CO2 caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

In climate change scenarios simulated by the model GOTILWA + — within the Consolider - Ingenio project Montes and the research project Med - Forestream — , net primary productivity of Spanish forests (how much carbon dioxide plants take in during photosynthesis minus how much carbon dioxide they release during respiration) will decrease from the second half of this centurIn climate change scenarios simulated by the model GOTILWA + — within the Consolider - Ingenio project Montes and the research project Med - Forestream — , net primary productivity of Spanish forests (how much carbon dioxide plants take in during photosynthesis minus how much carbon dioxide they release during respiration) will decrease from the second half of this centurin during photosynthesis minus how much carbon dioxide they release during respiration) will decrease from the second half of this century.

«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.

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

Plants take in carbon dioxide during photosynthesis in the day, and release it during respiration at night.

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.

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.

Because plants take up CO2 during photosynthesis, it has long been assumed that they will provide a large carbon «sink» to help offset increases in atmospheric CO2 caused by the burning of fossil fuels.

Rice production is also a methane - intensive activity, because root systems in rice plants secrete carbohydrates 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.
