Photosynthesis, the process by which plants, algae, and select bacteria convert the sun's light energy into chemical energy, takes place in a cellular organelle called the chloroplast.

Photosynthesis allows them to take in the latter directly from the air, but they have to procure nitrogen through their roots in the form of organic molecules like ammonia or urea.

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.

Harnessing heat to boost the rate of water movement allows these trees to take advantage of «narrow daily windows» for photosynthesis during the short Sierra summer.

Consequently, woodlands that now drain carbon will become carbon producers because plant respiration (a process in which oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is given out) and the decomposition of death organic matter will exceed photosynthesis processes (carbon sequestration and oxygen release).

Using infra - red gas analysers connected to a miniature controlled environment chamber, Dr Samuel Taylor and Professor Steve Long, at the Lancaster Environment Centre (LEC) simulated a sudden increase in sunlight following shade, and measured the time it took for the plant to regain its maximum photosynthesis efficiency and take full advantage of the extra energy from light.

They found it took about 15 minutes for photosynthesis to reach maximum efficiency.

Though the disc shape makes the leaf less efficient at photosynthesis, Simon says that the benefits of attracting bats outweigh this energetic cost: bats are good pollinators, and their large home range means they can take pollen to plants far apart from each other, and so help their reproduction, he says.

Everyone who took high school biology learned that photosynthesis is the process by which plants, algae and select bacteria transform the Sun's energy into chemical energy during the daytime.
