Best Answer

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.

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


Is the depletion of ozone layer related with greenhouse effect?

The depletion of ozone layer causes UV to enter. they then cause greenhouse effect.


How are the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect related?

They both are related. One causes the other.


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 cabron dixiode related to the greenhouse effect?

Carbon dioxide helps the greenhouse in one way. Plants in the greenhouse needs carbon dioxide to grow.


What environmental issue is related to the greenhouse effect?

Global Warming... Global Warming is caused by Carbon Dioxide being trapped in the Earth's atmosphere. AKA the greenhouse effect.


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).
