Plants and trees may seem pretty passive, but behind the scenes, their cells are working hard to put on a magic show. In this episode of Crash Course Botany, we’ll explore how the processes of ...

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 ...

Predicting net balance under future global change scenarios requires a comprehensive understanding of how ecosystem photosynthesis (gross primary production; GPP) and respiration (Re) respond to ...

Aims Soil respiration (Rs) plays an important role in the terrestrial carbon cycle, but how canopy photosynthesis and abiotic drivers interact to affect Rs is poorly understood. This study aimed at ...

Levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere rise and fall each year as plants, through photosynthesis and respiration, take up the gas in spring and summer, and release it in fall and winter. Now the ...

QUESTION: How do trees help us breathe? ANSWER: Trees are more than just a habitat for birds or a nice thing to look at — they help us breathe! Here's how. As humans, we breathe in air, which contains ...

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 ...
