Not exact matches
During photosynthesis plants use solar energy to convert carbon dioxide and
water into hydrogen - storing carbohydrates and oxygen.
Closer examination showed that five of the most promising strains had greater relative
water content
during drought conditions, and also used more light for
photosynthesis, and contained more chlorophyll.
Inspiration for the new catalyst came from nature; Nocera studied the chain of processes that take place
during photosynthesis, such as how plants use the energy from sunlight to rearrange
water's chemical bonds.
Satellite data showed that the increase coincided with a «greening» of the rainforest, or an increase in fresh leaves, leading researchers to suspect the moisture might be
water vapor released
during photosynthesis.
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.
Different pigments serve different functions: Green chlorophyll, which dominates
during the growing season, absorbs light energy for
photosynthesis, the conversion of carbon and
water to sugar.
Some CO2 simply dissolves into the
water, but the rest is taken up by phytoplankton
during photosynthesis.
They found that
photosynthesis rates were higher
during the day in tanks containing fish, probably helped by the fish's fin strokes wafting away
water containing high levels of oxygen.
CAM plants can flourish here by conserving
water more effectively than traditional crops — they capture carbon dioxide from the air at night and convert it to malate, which fuels
photosynthesis during the day.
A crucial piece of the puzzle behind nature's ability to split the
water molecule
during photosynthesis that could help advance the development of artificial
photosynthesis for clean, green and renewable energy has been provided by an international collaboration of scientists led by researchers with the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory.
Compared to forests, croplands are less efficient in transpiration, a daytime process where
water evaporates from leaves
during photosynthesis and cools the air.
Plants Pack a Punch on Precipitation
During photosynthesis, plants release
water vapor into the air.
Oxygen is produced through the splitting of
water molecules
during photosynthesis.
