Meteorology PhotospherePhotosynthesis

Photosynthesis the process by which green plants and certain other organisms transform light energy into chemical energy.

 


Photosynthesis The process whereby plants use sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide to manufacture their food and generate oxygen as a byproduct.
Physical model A miniaturized version of a real system.

Photosynthesis: When plants use sunlight, water and Carbon Dioxide (CO2) to manufacture their food the waste product produced is (Oxygen).

Photosynthesising plants would later evolve and continue releasing oxygen and sequestering carbon dioxide. Over time, excess carbon became locked in fossil fuels, sedimentary rocks (notably limestone), and animal shells.

Compared with C4 plants, C3 plants show a greater increase in photosynthesis with a doubling of CO2 concentration and less decrease in stomatal conductance, which results in an increase in leaf-level water-use efficiency. C4 plants Plants (e.g.

depth of compensation"The depth in a body of water at which illuminance has diminished to the extent that oxygen production through photosynthesis and oxygen consumption through respiration by plants are equal.

For example, plants--through photosynthesis --transform carbon dioxide in the air into organic matter, which either stays in the plants or is stored in the soils. The plants are a sink for carbon dioxide.
