photosynthesis

I'm still holding out for tiny 1 millimeter tall people who run on photosynthesis.

For example, bats and whales use sonar, humans use lenses, plants use photosynthesis.

Just curious: why isn't the making of vitamin D by the human skin called photosynthesis?

But it probably would be if our biological makeup was built for photosynthesis.

The great bulk of the mass of a tree is cellulose and lignin, and that comes straight out of photosynthesis and from atmospheric CO2 and ground water.

The carbon that constitutes most of the plant matter is literally taken out of thin air via photosynthesis.

Plant photosynthesis is rather inefficient if your goal is a breathable atmosphere.

The manufacture of Vitamin D in our skin is triggered by UV. Also in humans Vitamin D is not an energy source, unlike the sugars commonly produced by photosynthesis in plants.

The role in this greening of the CO2 fertilization effectthe enhancement of photosynthesis due to rising CO2 levelsis yet to be established.

"On the face of it higher rates of photosynthesis, more shoots, etc sound great but in practice there could be all kinds of selective pressures on wild crops that would make these adaptations undesirable.

I am not a biologist but my recollection of high school biology is that photosynthesis is basically carbon dioxide + water + light energy = oxygen + glucose.

At the other extreme, the machinery of oxygenic photosynthesis came together once after an inexplicable billion-year delay and completely reset the biosphere.

“We want to achieve the best combination of photosynthesis during the day and breathing at night by controlling the lighting and the environment.”'Also: 'He is also able to cut discarded produce from 50 percent to just 10 percent of the harvest, compared to a conventional farm.

"Synthesized photosynthesis"... "Photosynthesis" is a process, "synthesize" is what you do to a substance.
