Detection implies consciousness, which photosynthetic organisms don't have. Everything that they do is an automatic process, built in to their biochemistry, rather than being a decision based upon something that they have observed. In the case of plants that grow toward the light, that has to do with growth hormone in strategic locations, which alters the way the plant grows. The plant does not actually know where to secrete the growth hormone, that is just an automatic response to certain envrionmental conditions. In the case of growing in an upward direction, that is easy, the growth hormone just sinks downward under the influence of gravity. The lowest part of the plant then grows the fastest, causing the plant to turn upward. And for plants whose leaves angle toward the sunlight, you just need a hormone secretion where the rate of photosynthesis is lower.

Which type of organisms process light in the chloroplast?
They are called phototrophs. They are photosynthetic organisms
What do photosynthetic organisms have in common?
All photosynthetic organisms create energy from sunlight.
What does The rise of photosynthetic organisms do?
the rise of photosynthetic
Are Plants the only photosynthetic organisms?
No, there are some photosynthetic protists and some photosynthetic bacteria.
The rise of photosynthetic organisms did not?
The rise of photosynthetic organisms will not ever lead to a decrease in oxygen. The use of these organisms will always lead to an increase.
Is paramecia photosynthetic?
No, paramecia are not photosynthetic. Photosynthetic organisms react when exposed to light. Paramecia cannot detect light.
Do photosynthetic organisms get energy from light?
Yes
Why can't photosynthetic organisms grow in the deep water zone?
Photosynthetic organisms need light in order to survive. In very deep water there is no light.
Which type of organisms process light in the chloroplast?
They are called phototrophs. They are photosynthetic organisms
Some photosynthetic organisms contain chloroplasts that lack photosystem II yet are able to survive so what is the best way to detect the lack of photosystem II in these organisms would be?
o test for O2 production in the light.
What region can photosynthetic organisms not live in?
In order to live, photosynthetic organisms cannot survive without sunlight and water. Therefore a photosynthetic organism cannot survive in any place without water, such as a desert, or without light and air, such as the moon.
How do organisms capture light energy?
By using photosynthetic pigments. Primary pigments are the chlorophylls
What do photosynthetic organisms have in common?
All photosynthetic organisms create energy from sunlight.
What does The rise of photosynthetic organisms do?
the rise of photosynthetic
What do all photosynthetic organisms have in common?
All photosynthetic organisms create energy from sunlight.
Organisms that are unicellular colonial filamentous and photosynthetic is?
Unicellular,filamentous and photosynthetic organisms are ALGAE
What organisms that use light to produce their own food?
Green plants (and some photosynthetic bacteria)
