Photosynthesis occurs in chloroplasts found within cells. It is the chloroplasts that contain the green pigment chlorophyll which absorbs light. The plant uses this glucose to grow as well as make ...
Photosynthesis, the process by which plants turn sunlight into food, is crucial to crop production and our food systems. What if we could increase the yield of food crops by improving photosynthesis?
Ecosystem respiration is known to vary following changes in canopy photosynthesis. However, the timing of this coupling is not well understood. Here, we summarize the literature on soil and ecosystem ...
Limnology and Oceanography, Vol. 54, No. 1 (Jan., 2009), pp. 210-218 (9 pages) Respiration and photosynthesis of the planktonic foraminifera Globigerinoides ruber, Orbulina universa, and ...
Unlike us, plants don't need pantries full of food to stay alive; the Sun is their pantry. But, like us, they require fairly regular sustenance, which they create via photosynthesis. This seemingly ...
Scientists have developed a new hybrid energy transfer system, which mimics the processes responsible for photosynthesis. From photosynthesis to respiration, the processes of light absorption and its ...
Researchers compared the photosynthetic regulation in glaucophytes with that in cyanobacteria, to elucidate the changes caused by symbiosis in the interaction between photosynthetic electron transfer ...
RECENTLY one of us (K. P.) and his colleagues examined the effect of carbon dioxide on the electrical conductance of sea-water 1. They stated that one of the major causes of changes in the conductance ...
