Increased levels of CO2 accelerate plant growth, which causes more absorption of CO2 through photosynthesis.

Silt - bearing runoff from many activities including construction sites, forestry and farms can inhibit the penetration of sunlight through the water column restricting photosynthesis and causing blanketing of the lake or river bed which in turns damages the ecology.

The algae or bacteria produce carbohydrates through photosynthesis, some of which are absorbed by the fungi.

or stomata, the tiny openings on the leaf surface through which plants absorb gases needed for photosynthesis, can provide clues to land elevation over time.

«The way carbon gets buried usually starts with photosynthesis, through which carbon dioxide is converted to organic material in the form of plankton, marsh grass, mangroves, or sea grass,» he said.

Green leaves use energy from sunlight through photosynthesis to chemically combine carbon dioxide drawn in from the air with water and nutrients tapped from the ground to produce sugars, which are the main source of food, fiber and fuel for life on Earth.

Metabolism isn't just for individual organisms: Researchers apply the term to the processes through which entire natural ecosystems acquire and maintain (or lose) resilience, such as predator - prey balance and levels of photosynthesis.

Carbon dioxide produced during burning is fed to growing algae which recycle it through photosynthesis.

The entire ocean — from the depths to the shallows — gets its oxygen supply from the surface, either directly from the atmosphere or from phytoplankton, which release oxygen into the water through photosynthesis.

They focused on sugars, which are produced in the leaves by photosynthesis and transported through tubes 20 times narrower than a human hair to roots and new shoots.

They usually take the form of chloroplasts, which like cyanobacteria contain chlorophyll and produce organic compounds (such as glucose) through photosynthesis.

As plants take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, they release water through evapotranspiration from their leaf pores, which helps them cool down in the hot sun, much as human sweat cools us down.

Through photosynthesis, phytoplankton absorbs sunlight, which it stores in sugars it makes from CO2 and water.

Chlorophyll is essential to photosynthesis — the process through which plants convert carbon dioxide to oxygen — and is also used in a variety of foods and beverages for the green coloring which is provides.

Through a process known as photosynthesis, most plants use the energy in sunlight to convert carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, plus water, into simple sugars, which are used as building blocks and form the main structural components.

Not only are they one of the most important carbon sinks, storing more carbon than both the atmosphere and the world's oil reserves, they also constantly remove carbon from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, which converts atmospheric carbon to organic matter.

Trees give us oxygen through photosynthesis by absorbing water through their roots, which is carried to their leaves and needles.

Plants don't just convert co2 into o2 through photosynthesis, they also respire, which releases co2.

(Some of the energy is also stored in vegetation through the photosynthesis which uses energy from the sun to convert H2O and CO2 into oxygen and cellulose, but that is a longer time perspective.)
