Why are plants important to the biosphere? Why are the products of the light reaction of photosynthesis important? Why is it important to understand plant physiology? Why do plants sweat? Why are amphibians important? Why are protists important?
Why do uneven-aged stands of trees offer more biodiversity? Why can seeds stay in the soil for a long time? Why is photosynthesis important to plants? Why are tropisms vital to a plant's survival? Why do conifers suddenly go brown?
Nature, as nature tends to do, keeps most of these emissions in balance. Plants absorb CO2 through photosynthesis, and oceans absorb just about as much carbon dioxide as they let off. Carbon cycles through our air, water, and soil in a continuous process that supports life on earth. https:...
You know how plants take in carbon dioxide and release oxygen through photosynthesis? Well, a lot of that is done by tiny ocean plants called phytoplankton. Just those microscopic phytoplankton alone are responsible for producing between 50-85% of the world's oxygen supply! Isn't that crazy?
Plants take in water and carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and -- through photosynthesis -- convert it into oxygen and organic compounds. Could we mimic nature and pull carbon from the air? In 2008, the National Science Foundation sponsored a workshop at which scientists discussed the ...
The question of “why and how do the two-way interactions between phytoplankton and the Earth environment work?” motivated me to look at oceanic photosynthesis from the point of view of “non-equilibrium irreversible thermodynamics”. This is the basis of “Life on Earth”. By “strictly non...
Do you know the leaves of plants are green because they contain a green pigment called chlorophyll. Chlorophyll helps plants absorb light from the sun so that they can make food through a process called photosynthesis. Learn more about how photosynthesis works! As summer fades into fall, the ...
In fact, adult cannabis plants that are getting relatively low levels of light will actually turn dark green since they aren’t using up nutrients for photosynthesis (the extra unused nutrients get stored in the leaves, causing them to appear darker). How Do Growers Get It? You know your ...
This is the agent that contains green pigment and also the same one that processes sunlight for plants to thrive. Therefore, less green surface area means less photosynthesis and a lowered ability to grow. The slower the growth rate, the more time propagation takes, upping the costs even more...
Phloem is the sticky, sugary substance created through photosynthesis which feeds the tree and leaves throughout the growth period. What Causes Excessive Sap to Drip From Trees? Photo Credit: J. Smith / Wikimedia Commons / CC BY-SA 3.0 Sap dripping from a tree could mean many things. Some...
