Sentences with phrase «turn on photosynthesis»

Genetically modified tobacco plants turn on photosynthesis faster when shade follows dangerous sunlight

Not exact matches

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.

The researchers engineered a strain in which a Synechococcus gene normally turned on during photosynthesis signals its activity by switching on the gene for luciferase, an enzyme from another bacterium that drives a light - emitting chemical reaction.

Because plants in turn, in the process of photosynthesis, convert CO2 into oxygen, it is thus sometimes argued that such «co2 fertilization» could potentially provide a strong negative feedback on changing CO2 concentrations.

Although atmospheric oxygen soon recovered again as photosynthesis and weathering reached a new balance, at about 10 per cent of present - day levels, the oxidative weathering of sulphides on land filled the oceans with sulphate which created abundant food for a group of bacteria that filled the oceans with sewer gas (hydrogen sulphide) toxic to oxygen - loving lifeforms (delaying the development of eukaryotic plants and animals) and turned them «into stinking, stagnant waters almost entirely devoid of oxygen.»

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.

Photosynthesis: Plants / Plankton turning Sunlight / CO2 / H2O into Plant Food / O2 — the Foundation of Life on Earth.

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.

The variety in carbon isotopes reflects the photosynthesis of the trees, which in turn is largely dependent on the amount of solar radiation available during the summer.

«Now you can put this on a bench top and show people an artificial photosynthesis device that, with additional development, can be turned into a deployable technology,» Koval says.

Nocera, now at Harvard University, as well as scores of other researchers around the world, are on the verge of turning the promise of artificial photosynthesis into reality.

Nocera... as well as scores of other researchers around the world, are on the verge of turning the promise of artificial photosynthesis into reality.
