Timiriazeff, in his Croonian Lecture[51], was the first to see the connexion betweenphotosynthesis and the Lagado research.
This is doubtless one effect of bad illumination under the above-named conditions, but the check to photosynthesis is a more serious result.
All of them have got green chlorophyll, which enables them to utilise the sun's rays in photosynthesis (i.
In other words, animals take the munitions which plants laboriously manufacture and explode them in locomotion and work; and the entire system of animate nature depends upon the photosynthesis that goes on in green plants.
Digestion in man is not unlike photosynthesis in plants, except that plants make food in the process while men destroy it.
The thing to fix in our minds is that photosynthesis makes food, uses the sun’s energy and releases oxygen in the process, while respiration uses oxygen and might almost be likened to the oil of a machine--necessary but producing nothing.
For this process of photosynthesis and the closely related one of supplying food and water to the leaf cannot go on without respiration, which is quite another thing.
In this plant the leaf base, as though to be ready for whatever change transpiration or photosynthesis may demand, is so attached to the stem that such changes are made with the least possible delay or wrenching.
Of course this process of photosynthesis is not as simple as the brief account of it suggests, for it is actually a complicated chemical process only part of which is yet understood.
If now a match was struck for a fraction of a second, sufficient oxygen was formed by photosynthesis to cause the bacteria to luminesce for a short time.
It is doubtful whether these compounds are actual products of photosynthesis in plants, or have the same physiological uses as the carbohydrates and it has seemed wise to consider them in a separate and later chapter.
Animals breathe in oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide; while plants use the carbon dioxide of the air as a part of the raw material for photosynthesis and exhale oxygen.
The end-product of photosynthesis is always a carbohydrate.
Since plant photosynthesis is the primary source of atmospheric oxygen, it seems safe to infer that no other planet has large-scale plant photosynthesisaccompanied by the production of oxygen.
The effect of temperature on photosynthesisis being explored.
C and an optimum temperature for photosynthesis of about 40 deg.
On the other hand, their ancestors, the green or yellow mastigota, form new plasm by photosynthesis like true cells.
The process called photosynthesis whereby green plants use energy from the sun to convert simple compounds from air and soil into complex, energy-rich substances has been termed the most important chemical reaction in the world.
Tracer techniques have multiplied the research efforts on photosynthesis tremendously.
When the incredible complexities ofphotosynthesis are finally unraveled, radioactive tracers, especially radioactive carbon-14, will have provided the significant clues.
Sugar formation during photosynthesis is disrupted in these plants, and phosphorus movement is retarded.
The above list will hopefully give you a few useful examples demonstrating the appropriate usage of "photosynthesis" in a variety of sentences. We hope that you will now be able to make sentences using this word.
