Sentences with phrase «like plant photosynthesis»

Not exact matches

If plant life does exist on a planet like Kepler - 186f, its photosynthesis could have been influenced by the star's red - wavelength photons, making for a color palette that's very different than the greens on Earth.

The system is unique because it allows the algae to simultaneously do photosynthesis like a plant while also «eating» carbon and respiring like an animal, said Beyenal.

These partners are called heterotrophs, since they rely on the anammox bacteria — which are primary producers (or autotrophs), like plants capable of photosynthesis — to turn atmospheric carbon dioxide into organic carbon.

Engineered plants conserve 25 percent more water by only partially opening their mouth - like stomata, allowing less water to escape through transpiration while carbon dioxide enters the plant to fuel photosynthesis.

Like plants on land, phytoplankton produce energy by photosynthesis, pulling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to fuel the process.

«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.

Like all plants, mangroves fix carbon dioxide from the air through photosynthesis and return organic material to the soil when they decompose.

A new catalyst created by U of T Engineering researchers brings them one step closer to artificial photosynthesis — a system that, just like plants, would use renewable energy to convert carbon dioxide (CO2) into stored chemical energy.

The researchers from Bochum, on the other hand, take advantage of the fact that, like plants, cyanobacteria perform photosynthesis.

This plant may look like an ordinary tobacco plant, but on the inside it was engineered to express bacteria proteins which helps it perform more efficient photosynthesis.

Like a plant, these algae use photosynthesis to make food.

Organisms like plants and algae use sunlight for photosynthesis to create oxygen and other important by - products.

Just like plants, cyanobacteria can produce energy out of sunlight, via the process called photosynthesis.

The plant - like algae use photosynthesis to grow, creating oxygen as a byproduct that nourishes the coral polyps.

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 digestion.

I don't mean to step on Michael Tobis» toes, but the level of CO2 has always so far as the various ice core and like data strongly suggest (above 99.5 % with consilience) been seasonally variable over land due to interaction of plants and temperature as proven by NH / SH trends, just as it is diurnally variable due to photosynthesis.

«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.

Lazy vining plants like poison ivy and kudzu may benefit 18 - 20 times more from increased levels of CO2 than trees, because much more of their energy can go into producing leaves for photosynthesis instead of trunks and branches for support.

Like other plants, plankton uses the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide for photosynthesis; thus, theoretically, fertilization could have caused the ocean to take larger amounts of CO2 from the air, and entomb it in the ocean.

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.
