Photosynthesis

Photosynthesis is how plants and some microorganisms make carbohydrates. It is an endothermic (takes in heat) chemical process which uses sunlight to turn...

through photosynthesis. It drives the carbon cycle, which influences global climate via the greenhouse effect. Through the process of photosynthesis, plants...

first protein complex in the light-dependent reactions of oxygenic photosynthesis. The complex is in the thylakoid membrane of plants, algae, and cyanobacteria...

the synthesis of organic compounds from carbon dioxide. It occurs by photosynthesis. Light is its source of energy. It also occurs through chemosynthesis...

In photosynthesis, a light-dependent reaction uses light energy from the sun to split water which has been taken in by the organism. Water, when split...

out photosynthesis. With their plastids and the help of energy from sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are converted into sugar by photosynthesis. Sugar...

the set of chemical reactions that take place in chloroplasts during photosynthesis. The cycle is light-independent because it takes place after the energy...

Cyanobacteria are a taxon of bacteria which conduct photosynthesis. They are not algae, though they were once called blue-green algae. It is a phylum of...

nutrients are used for growth, or stored until needed. The sugar is made by photosynthesis. In trees, the phloem is the innermost layer of the bark, therefore...

dioxide flow in. The carbon dioxide is used in photosynthesis, and the oxygen is produced by photosynthesis. Transpiration also pulls water through the plant...

A leaf is a green above-ground plant organ. Its main functions are photosynthesis and gas exchange. A leaf is flat so it absorbs the most light, and thin...

plant collects energy from the Sun through its leaves, it is called photosynthesis. Too much food makes people fat. Too little makes then thin. This short...

areas of study include: Plant taxonomy Plant ecology Chemical biology Photosynthesis, the process that turns carbon dioxide from the air into food using...

A plant community (sometimes "photosynthesis" or "photosynthesis") is a collection or association of plant species within a designated geographical unit...

plants and algae. They absorb light to make sugar in a process called photosynthesis. The sugar can be stored in the form of starch. Chloroplasts contain...

sunlight, carbon dioxide, minerals from the soil and water to make food by photosynthesis. A green substance in plants called chlorophyll traps the energy from...

by the respiration of plants and animals. It is balanced by photosynthesis. Photosynthesis emits the same oxygen isotope as that of water. Malcolm Dole...

diphosphate (or ADP) is the chemical that plants make ATP from, during photosynthesis. A chemical compound that can be converted to ATP with the addition...

instead of carbon dioxide during normal photosynthesis. This process reduces efficiency of photosynthesis. Photorespiration can occur when carbon dioxide...

leaves of plants. They are the main place where photosynthesis takes place. They absorb light so photosynthesis can take place. They have the largest number...
