As far as CO2 is involved, Photosynthesis is by far and away the Best method of carbon capture and STORAGE [within Earth's Soil] that We Possess; and this [as well as any, every and all forms of ] Removal of CO2 from Our paper thin Atmosphere is what We Desire Most.

Photosynthesis by plants removes Carbon Dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere and replaces it with Oxygen (O2).

Which planet has a MODERATE greenhouse effect?

Earth has a moderate greenhouse effect, while Venus has a severe case, with surface temperatures of 400-500 degrees C.


Why is photosynthesis the only process that can combat the greenhouse effect?

The greenhouse effect does not have to be combatted, as it usefully keeps the earth warm. But we have to stop the enhanced (or accelerated) greenhouse effect which is causing global warming. The only process that can combat the enhanced greenhouse effect is photosynthesis, trees and plants remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.


How does the greenhouse effect affect plants and animals?

It affects them by photosynthesis.


What happens if there is an oversupply of carbon dioxide in a plant undergoing photosynthesis?

it will cause greenhouse effect


What planet has more greenhouse effect?

Venus. Similar to Earth in many ways, a runaway greenhouse effect is thought responsible for its 900°F (480°C) surface temperature.


How do some people reduce the greenhouse effect?

The only way to reduce the greenhouse effect is to actually remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The only way to do this is to plant trees. Trees remove carbon dioxide through photosynthesis. Some people plant trees to reduce the greenhouse effect.


Photosyntheic organisms may counter the greenhouse effect by?

By removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere through photosynthesis.


How is the greenhouse effect related to photosynthesis?

The only relation there is between the two is carbon dioxide (CO2). Carbon dioxide is a greenhouse gas. Too much of it in the atmosphere causes the 'greenhouse effect' whereby the earth warms. In the photosynthesis process CO2 is captured from the atmosphere and, with the help of sunlight (and water in the case of plants) turned into organic compounds. A waste product of this process is oxygen.


What is the process by which gases in the atmosphere absorb and reradiate heat?

Greenhouse Effect


How does photosynthesis help minimise the enhanced greenhouse effect?

¨During the photosynthesis process the plant takes in some carbon dioxide from the air and uses it during the rest of the process. When the plant inhales the carbon dioxide it means that there is less of it in the air. This means that there is less carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and the enhanced greenhouse effect is reduced.


What is the greenhouse gas in the photosynthesis reaction?

The greenhouse gas absorbed from the atmosphere by the photosynthesis reaction is carbon dioxide (CO2).


Which process reverses the greenhouse gas effect in the atmosphere?

Photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide, store the carbon and release the oxygen.
