This process, called photosynthesis, is essential to the global carbon cycle and organisms that conduct photosynthesis represent the lowest level in most food chains (Figure 1). Most living things ...
We often think of animals using oxygen and glucose for cellular respiration and producing carbon dioxide. Similarly, we might think of plants using carbon dioxide and sunlight for photosynthesis and ...
Phenological events can be momentary such as bud burst or the opening of catkins (Sarvas 1972) or it can be continuous such as growth. We have studied and quantified the annual cycle of photosynthesis ...
(A) Photosynthesis in land plants fixes atmospheric CO2 (inorganic carbon) as organic carbon, which is either stored as plant biomass or in soil, or is decomposed back to CO2 through plant and ...
Cyanobacteria, an ancient lineage of bacteria that perform photosynthesis, have been found to regulate their genes using the ... In cyanobacteria, the cell division cycle, the process through which ...
