All plants without a chlorophyll apparatus, as the fungi, must be parasitic or saprophytic
The process by which green plants use sunlight to produce carbohydrates such as glucose, other nutrients, and oxygen from simple compounds such as water and carbon dioxide In energy terms, photosynthesis converts solar energy into chemical potential energy that is in carbohydrates
The conversion of light to chemical energy Using light energy, organic compounds are synthesized from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll
a process used by plants to convert water, carbon dioxide, and sunlight into carbohydrates and oxygen The oxygen in the Earth's atmosphere is produced by this process
The manufacture by plants of carbohydrates and oxygen from carbon dioxide and water in the presence of chlorophyll with sunlight as the energy source Oxygen and water vapor are released in the process Photosynthesis is dependent on favorable temperature and moisture conditions as well as on the atmospheric carbon dioxide concentration Increased levels of carbon dioxide can increase net photosynthesis in many plants (Source: Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center, 1990)
Photosynthesis is the process by which plants produces their own food They use carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, water from the ground and enrgy from the sun to produce food When plants do this they produce oxygen as a waste product which they emitt back to the atmosphere Many under water plants do the same thing to replenish oxygen levels in water
A process that goes on inside of a plant's leaf which turns energy from the sun, water, and carbon dioxide (from the air), into food and energy for the plant
The process by which the energy of sunlight is used by organisms, especially green plants, to synthesize carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water
the conversion of light energy into chemical energy: carbohydrates, (sugar and starch), are produced from carbon dioxide and water through the action of light on the chlorophyll of green plants Oxgen is released in the process
The food substances are usually quickly translocated, those that accumulate being changed to starch, which appears in the cells almost simultaneously with the sugars
The chloroplasts perform photosynthesis only in light and within a certain range of temperature, varying according to climate
- the process by which green plants use sunlight to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates
The process by which green plants utilize sunlight to make food from carbon dioxide and water
A complex process used by many plants and bacteria to build carbohydrates from carbon dioxide and water, using energy derived from light Photosynthesis is the key initial step in the growth of biomass and is depicted by the equation: CO2 + H2O + light + chlorophyll = (CH2O) + O2
the process by which green plants convert carbon dioxide and water into sugars (chemical energy) using the energy in sunlight
The fundamental chemical process in which green plants (and blue-green algae) utilize the energy of sunlight or other light to convert carbon dioxide and water into carbohydrates, with the green pigment chlorophyll acting as the energy converter This process releases oxygen and is the chief source of atmospheric oxygen
a process in which organisms, with the aid of chlorophyll (green plant enzyme), convert carbon dioxide and inorganic substances into oxygen and additional plant material, using sunlight for energy All green plants and many microorganisms (such as algae) grow by this process
