A photosynthesizing organism is one that uses the energy of the sun to produce carbon-based materials from carbon dioxide & water; oxygen is produced as a by-product All green plants are photosynthesizing organisms; so are some algae

How would the increasing number of photosynthesizing organisms on earth have affected both earth and its other organisms?

As the first photosynthetic organisms increased in number, the concentration of oxygen in Earth's atmosphere began to increase. Organisms that could respire aerobically would have evolved and thrived. The sun's rays would have converted much of the oxygen into ozone molecules that would then have formed a layer that contained more ozone than the rest of the atmosphere.


Is typically associated with a reduction in photosynthesizing plants in a water supply?

An increase in pollutants like nitrates or phosphates can lead to algal blooms in the water, which can overshadow photosynthesizing plants and reduce their growth due to competition for sunlight and nutrients. This decrease in photosynthesizing plants can disrupt the balance of the aquatic ecosystem and lower water quality.


Why do lichens grow in places few other organisms can live?

Lichens can use nutrients that most organisms can't. They can use their biotic (living) surrounding to their advantage by the decomposing leaves, exoskeletons and other nutrients from the soil.


How are aerobic respiration and photosynthesis are related?

They can be thought of as the 'reverse' of each other (though their repective biochemical pathways are in no ways similar) and are the two halves of the carbon cycle. Respiration: Glucose + Oxygen -> Carbon dioxide + Water Photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide + Water -> Glucose +Oxygen


When is the apple tree full of beautiful green leaves?

Apple trees are typically full of beautiful green leaves during the spring and summer months. This is when they are actively growing and photosynthesizing to produce energy for the tree and fruit development.

What is the pigment found in this organelle that absorbs light in photosynthesis?

Chlorophyll is the green chemical in the chloroplasts of photosynthesizing organisms that allows them to capture solar energy to make food.


How can organisms so deep in the ocean with only a limited amount of sunlight still be able to go through the process of photosynthesis?

Algae and phyoplankton which are the primary photosynthesizing organisms in the oceans, do not live below the level in which they get sufficient light to conduct photosynthesis.


What process do plants use it for?

for photosynthesizing


What is green pigment found in photosynthesizing organisms?

well green pigments on the photosynthesizing organism is there so it could help it with the process of photosynthesis. the green pigments help trap light so it could be used with carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and oxygen. plants are autotrophs this means they make their own food. the green pigments help them in this process.


Is photosynthesis a noun or a verb?

Photosynthesis is a noun. It refers to the process by which green plants and some other organisms use sunlight to synthesize food from carbon dioxide and water.

Why Isn't underwater volcanoes the right answer for most oxygen enters the ocean from?

Volcanoes do not release oxygen; they re;ease other gasses such as carbon dioxide and sulfur dioxide. The oxygen on earth is released by photosynthesizing organisms such as plants and algae.


What is called an organism that requires the consumption of other organisms for survival?

A heterotroph ('eating others'). This can mean the consumption of animals or plants (as both are organisms), and makes all animals, some plants (carnivorous or parasitic) and all fungi heterotrophs. 'Regular' photosynthesizing plants 'feed' off sunlight, making them autotrophs ('eating independently').
