Sentences with phrase «supports photosynthesis»

The new protein replaces four gene products, yet still supports photosynthesis.

Fossil fuels are thus justified on grounds of making heat and energy, without a supplemental onus to support photosynthesis, though helping plants is a collateral benefit, to be sure.

In a globe that is for the most part too cold to support photosynthesis at optimum levels, except for fractional parts of the year you (i.e. climate scientists) should begin by asking which parts are too warm and which parts too cool and focus on the bits that you consider too warm.

While plants do need carbon dioxide to support photosynthesis, carbon dioxide levels are just one factor in their growth.

Not exact matches

«Although tiny, these organisms are a vital part of the Earth's life support system, providing half of the oxygen generated each year on Earth by photosynthesis and lying at the base of marine food chains on which all other life in the ocean depends.»

Exciton diffusion is also a basic mechanism underlying photosynthesis: Plants absorb energy from photons, and this energy is transferred by excitons to areas where it can be stored in chemical form for later use in supporting the plant's metabolism.

This work is supported by the Materials Project Predictive Modeling Center and the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis through the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Materials Sciences and Engineering Division, under Contract No.

I enjoyed so much to start thinking in the capability of small things to make a notable difference in biological systems, such as how the properties of the cell membranes are influenced by its chemical composition, and how the food chain is mainly supported by the photosynthesis reaction of plants and algae, which ultimately lead us to survive.

Energy from the Sun — in the form of insolation from sunlight — supports almost all life on Earth via photosynthesis, and drives the Earth's climate and weather.

By following these isotopes into the food web, we can determine what fraction of a worm, a crayfish, or a fish was ultimately supported by terrestrial versus aquatic photosynthesis.

Basic support, including soil formation, nutrient cycling, and oxygen from photosynthesis.

There are also proposals for forestation schemes which suggest photosynthesis supported by suitable irrigation is capable of sequestering from 5 tC / ha / year to 25 tC / ha / year and inbetween, the last even with a TED conversation.

Here's Merriam Webster's version: Main Entry: carbon dioxide Function: noun: a heavy colorless gas CO 2 that does not support combustion, dissolves in water to form carbonic acid, is formed especially in animal respiration and in the decay or combustion of animal and vegetable matter, is absorbed from the air by plants in photosynthesis, and is used in the carbonation of beverages I know you'll all correct me if i'm wrong in stating if CO2 has no scientific facts supporting global warming based upon a factor of greenhouse gases (as opposed to solar radiation in another post, which would be defined by variations in earth, space, or similar factors), then where does science determine that CO2 «disolves in water to form carbonic acid» and is «absorbed from the air by plants in photosythesis»?

For me, that means I'd like to see it broken down, which Coby has done well so far, by (these are just examples i'd like to see): Factors and evidence supporting or effectively debunking a) ocean acidity, which in itself has produced a number of alarming effects including less saline density in turn causing a slowing of thermohaline circulation (such as the gulf stream) b) photosynthesis - carbon sinks vs. sources or any direction that you'd like to take using what science knows CO2 to have an effect on.

This work was supported by the DOE Office of Science, Bay Area Photovoltaics Consortium (BAPVC); the Joint Center for Artificial Photosynthesis, a DOE Energy Innovation Hub; Office fédéral de l'énergie (OFEN); the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) and the CSEM PV - center.

Re # 52 - Buck Smith do you have a reference to support your statement that a 5 % increase in global photosynthesis would offset fossil fuel emissions?

This new study underlines the importance of nature, and especially trees and soils, as support for carbon sequestration through the cycle of plants based on photosynthesis.

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.

Elevated CO2 levels would increase photosynthesis but this could lead to forests which could support higher numbers of insects.
