Photosynthesis is a complicated process in which light energy is used to stimulate the combination of oxygen, carbon, and hydrogen into simple sugars which are then converted by cellular respiration (another complicated process) to energy in photosynthetic organisms (plants, mostly).

What is the process by which heat is trapped beneath the thick clouds of a planet?

the process is called global warming or green house effect where heat is trapped under greenhouse gasses and not allowed to escape into space thus increasing the global heat of the planet this effect can be seen in superlative terms in oue solar system in VENUS


What is called when organisms are trapped in sedimentary rock?

when an organism is trapped in sedimentary rock, it will die and the organism will slowly decay, but it won't decay altogether and you get a fossil. the older the fossil is the lower down it will be in a sedimentary layer. that's called superposition...


When Heat is trapped in the earth's atmosphere what is the process called?

The process is called the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapor trap heat in the Earth's atmosphere, leading to an increase in the average temperature of the planet.


What is the natural process where the sun's energy is trapped by the atmosphere to make the Earth warm enough for life?

The natural process is called the greenhouse effect. Greenhouse gases in the Earth's atmosphere, such as carbon dioxide and methane, trap some of the sun's energy, preventing it from escaping back into space. This trapped energy warms the Earth's surface and makes it suitable for life.


How does visible light cause earths surface to become warmer?

Visible light is an insignificant portion of the solar radiation that warms the Earth. The sun's infrared radiation, also known as 'heat', is responsible for virtually all of it.

What is the process by which the sun's energy is trapped as the source of energy used by virtually all living organisms?

Photosynthesis is the process by which plants and some microorganisms convert sunlight into chemical energy in the form of glucose. This energy is then used as the primary source of fuel for nearly all living organisms on Earth.

Why does polyurethane bubble during application or curing process?

Polyurethane bubbles during application or curing process due to trapped air or moisture within the material. When the polyurethane is applied or curing, the air or moisture can become trapped and create bubbles as the material hardens.


Where in the leaf is light energy in the sun is trapped?

Light energy is trapped in the chloroplasts of leaf cells, specifically in the thylakoid membranes where the pigment chlorophyll is located. This trapping process is part of the photosynthesis process where light energy is converted into chemical energy to produce sugar for the plant's growth and metabolism.


How are nutrients trapped in the dead remains of planta and animals?

By the decomposers breaking down the dead bodies and faeces of organisms(In the process of decomposition).Then carbon dioxide is produced(In process of combustion).


What do you call energy that gets trapped in your atmosphere from the sun?

The energy that gets trapped in Earth's atmosphere from the sun is called solar radiation. This energy is absorbed by the atmosphere and contributes to the warming of the planet through a process known as the greenhouse effect.

Where is photosynthesis trapped in plants?

Photosynthesis is trapped in the chloroplasts of plant cells. Specifically, the process occurs in the thylakoid membranes within the chloroplasts, where chlorophyll absorbs sunlight to drive the conversion of carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
