Sentences with phrase «photosynthesis happening»

Quantum physics governs the universe on incredibly small scales — including at the level of molecules inside chloroplasts, the structures inside plants where photosynthesis happens.

Photosynthesis happens in the «palisade» cells in the leaf: Palisade cells Close up on a palisade cell: Cell wall Cell membrane Nucleus Large vacuole Cytoplasm Chloroplasts (containing chlorophyll) How do Plant Roots Work?

Not exact matches

We are using visible light to accomplish this, so in reality we are converting light energy into a chemical output, similar to what happens in photosynthesis.

For example, in a recent Nature Physics paper, physicist Neill Lambert of the Advanced Science Institute in Japan called out new photosynthesis research as remarkable just for suggesting quantum effects can happen in biological systems at room temperature.

These changes happened even as the concentration of phytoplankton fell, along with levels of chlorophyll - a, the pigment essential to photosynthesis.

Yu and his colleagues aren't certain how this is happening, but the mutation that enabled ethylene production has also stimulated photosynthesis.

«Knowing how this happens is important for understanding the design principles used in natural photosynthesis,» Yachandra says.

Living Sunlight talks to young children about photosynthesis (a vital process that most adults would be hard put to explain) in a way that tells what is actually happening at the molecular level.

If you're taking current photosynthesis, then there's many ways to do cellulosic processing, none of which should have gotten into the large - scale mainstream, but there's a lot of promise that that might happen.

But before he leaves I tell him that he should not forget what's happening to the oceans, where the other major user of carbon for photosynthesis live — the phytoplankton.

In this case wood may be laid down only on whichever side of the tree has sustained the least defoliation, as photosynthesis might only happen there.

So it is quite likely that plant photosynthesis (including that happening in the ocean from phytoplankton) could well be constrained by CO2 concentration at 280 ppmv, with a slightly higher input from animal respiration plus emissions from the Earth's interior balancing out the natural decay rate.

During the day, although there is more uptake through photosynthesis, more turbulence happens either by increased wind speed or by increased soil heating by the sun or both.

While it takes anywhere from months to decades for plants to sequester carbon through photosynthesis, combustion and release of carbon's combustion product, carbon dioxide, happens in seconds.

The climate catastrophists attempt to create fear by mentioning the carbon cycle but just happen to omit that significant oxygenation of the atmosphere took place when the planet was in middle age and this process of photosynthesis resulted the recycling and sequestration of carbon.

The first equation summarizes photosynthesis and basically shows us what happens on land.

In fact, if that did not happen, photosynthesis would use up atmospheric CO2 in about 2.5 million years (leaving aside the anthropogenic component) and the planet would go dead.

This happens because biofuels — fuels derived from recent photosynthesis — are basically carbon neutral because all carbon released by burning has recently been taken from the atmosphere.

«As best scientists can tell, this is what happens: Rising CO2 revs up photosynthesis, the process that helps plants transform sunlight to food.

What happens for example to the symbiotic algae that live within the coral's tissues if the turbidity caused by a reflective hydrosol should impede sufficient light reaching the algae and therefore affecting photosynthesis?

There's a lot of attention being given to what happens when the plankton production («primary production» — the first step where photosynthesis occurs).

The explanation for why autumn leaves put on such a display has to do with cooling weather and a drop in the chlorophyll that usually hides the other pigments of a leaf; the vivid colors were there all along, but green rules the roost as long as photosynthesis is happening.
