Sentences with phrase «material by photosynthesis»

The land - based carbon cycle works as plants take CO2 out of the atmosphere and convert it to organic material by 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.

Not exact matches
