Jul 24 2017 the globe is greening as plants grow faster in response to rising carbon dioxide but a new analysis shows they arent using more water to do it
Higher concentrations of carbon dioxide make plants more productive because photosynthesis relies on using the suns energy to synthesise sugar out of carbon dioxide and water plants and
Mar 10 2020 everincreasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere tend to promote plant growth by supplying them with extra carbonbut all that added carbon is squeezing out other nutrients that plant
Dec 06 2015 plants make oxygen through a process called photosynthesis oxygen is produced as a waste product for the plant as the plant makes its own food photosynthesis literally means making things with light photosynthesis requires six carbon dioxide molecules and six water molecules to produce glucose a sugar that serves as food for the plant
Carbon dioxide co2 is a gas that fills our atmosphere and its essential for plants to complete the process of photosynthesis wherein plants convert co2 into energy
