How does photosynthesis moderate the greenhouse effect?
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.
What will be the effect of too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere to photosynthesis?
Too much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere can initially increase rates of photosynthesis, as it is a key component for the process. However, excessive levels of carbon dioxide can eventually lead to decreased photosynthetic efficiency, disrupting plant growth and potentially impacting ecosystems.
How does cellular respiration effect carbon and oxygen in the atmosphere?
Cellular respiration uses oxygen and generates carbon dioxide. Photosynthesis uses carbon dioxide and generates oxygen.
How does photosynthesis in plants affect the carbon cycle?
During photosynthesis, plants take in carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and convert it into glucose through the process of photosynthesis. This helps to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, reducing the overall levels of CO2 and thereby mitigating the greenhouse effect and global warming. Additionally, plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which is essential for the respiration of animals and other organisms.
Photosynthetic organisms may counter the greenhouse effect by?
Organisms which use the photosynthesis process are part of a large natural process called the Carbon Cycle. Important elements are vegetation and trees and the world's oceans. Not only do these emit carbon dioxide (a known greenhouse gas) to the air, they also capture it again (trees and plants because they need it for their photosynthesis processes) from the air. This way the amount of carbon dioxide in the earth's atmosphere is left more or less stable. But humans also emit carbon dioxide (mainly by burning fossil fuels like oil, natural gas and coal) which puts additional amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. However, unlike trees, plants and oceans, we do not remove carbon dioxide from the air so eventually, the total amount of carbon dioxide in the air goes up and thus create the greenhouse effect. At present the natural Carbon Cycle already captures about 40% of human emitted carbon dioxide yet there are strong indications it cannot capture more (ie, increased ocean acidification due to high levels of carbon dioxide being absorbed). Could natural organisms be used to counter the greenhouse effect further? Possibly. But one has to remember that at present it is impossible to 'destroy' carbon dioxide. When such an organism dies, the carbon dioxide is eventually released back into the atmosphere.
What are the three things that effect the rate of photosynthesis?
Three main factors that affect the rate of photosynthesis are light intensity, carbon dioxide levels, and temperature. Higher light intensity increases the rate of photosynthesis, while a lack of carbon dioxide or extreme temperatures can slow it down.
What do plants do to lessen the greenhouse effect?
Plants help lessen the greenhouse effect by absorbing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. They store this carbon in their biomass, which reduces the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Additionally, plants release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis, which helps to balance the levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
What effect does photosynthesis have on carbon?
The carbon in the carbon dioxide is split and used to make sugar...i think
How does changing the carbon dioxide concentration effect photosynthesis and why?
CO2 is an input for photosynthesis, so when you don't have CO2, you don't have photosynthesis. When there is more CO2 present, you will have photosynthesis occur quicker, depending on the rate or concentration of carbon dioxide. Plants take in carbon dioxide, so when animals exhale it, the plants consume that gas. Most places with a high amount of vegetation, are likely to have the air full of CO2. The opposite effect goes for a place with little or no plant life, the carbon dioxide in that region will be lower than average.

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.
If the rate of photosynthesis increases as carbon dioxide concentration increases why is the world facing global warming?
The amount of carbon dioxide the plants in the entire world take in is less than the amount of carbon dioxide organisms and human activities produce, so the concentration of carbon dioxide is increasing slowly. Another reason is that as more and more forests are being cleared, there are less trees to take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis. The third reason is that at a certain concentration of carbon dioxide, the rate of photosynthesis stays constant.
Plants counteract the greenhouse effect by removing what during photosynthesis.?
Plants counteract the greenhouse effect by removing carbon dioxide during photosynthesis. This process helps to reduce the amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, mitigating global warming and climate change.
What is the point of carbon dioxide on earth?
Green plants use carbon dioxide as part of the process of photosynthesis. In addition, while we are presently concerned that too much carbon dioxide is resulting in too much greenhouse effect and global warming, it is equally true that too little carbon dioxide would result in global cooling. A certain amount of carbon dioxide is helpful in maintaining the kind of temperature range that we want.
Which process reverses the greenhouse gas effect in the atmosphere?
Photosynthesis, where plants absorb carbon dioxide, store the carbon and release the oxygen.
What are some factors that affect photosynthesis?
Some factors that affect photosynthesis include light intensity, carbon dioxide levels, temperature, and water availability. Changes in any of these factors can impact the rate of photosynthesis in plants.
Where does carbon dioxide go after it is released into the atmosphere?
After carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere, it can be absorbed by plants through photosynthesis, dissolved in the oceans, or remain in the atmosphere contributing to the greenhouse effect.
