The 96 pages that link to Photosynthesis, each with the reason it gives.

• Carbon cycleRelated: It transfers atmospheric or dissolved carbon dioxide into living biomass.

• GlucoseRelated: Photosynthetic carbon fixation produces carbohydrate precursors that can be converted into glucose.

• Cellular respirationCompared with: It stores energy in organic molecules, whereas respiration releases energy from them.

• MetabolismRelated: Photosynthesis supplies organic carbon and chemical energy that feed metabolism across ecosystems.

• Dissolved oxygenRelated: Aquatic photosynthesis adds oxygen and can drive strong daily concentration swings.

• CarotenoidNarrower topic: Carotenoids were studied as accessory pigments and protectors in photosynthetic organisms.

• Biogeochemical cycleRelated: It transfers carbon from atmospheric or dissolved pools into biological matter.

• PhytoplanktonRelated: Phytoplankton use this process to produce biomass and release oxygen.

• Primary productionRelated: It is the main pathway by which ecosystems convert inorganic carbon into organic matter.

• CarnivoryCompared with: Photosynthesis builds organic food using light instead of consuming animal tissue.

• ChlorophyllNarrower topic: Chlorophyll supplies the light absorption that drives oxygenic photosynthesis.

• Blue carbonRelated: Coastal plants draw atmospheric carbon dioxide into living biomass through this process.

• Kelp forestRelated: Kelp uses photosynthesis to build tissue and fuel rapid growth.

• Carbon sinkRelated: Photosynthesis moves atmospheric carbon into plant biomass.

• DiatomNarrower topic: Diatoms fix carbon using light, supporting aquatic food webs.

• ChemosynthesisCompared with: Photosynthesis uses light as its energy source, unlike chemosynthesis.

• EvergreenRelated: Evergreen leaves can photosynthesize during favorable periods throughout the year.

• Gas exchangeCompared with: Photosynthesis can reverse the net gas flows associated with respiration in plants.

• Water-use efficiencyNarrower topic: Carbon gain in plants is largely generated by this process.

• Respiratory systemCompared with: It consumes carbon dioxide and releases oxygen, opposite the net gas exchange associated with animal respiration.

• BractRelated: Green bracts can photosynthesize, unlike structures that function mainly as visual displays.

• Crassulacean acid metabolismNarrower topic: CAM is one specialized route for supplying carbon to photosynthesis.

• DeciduousnessRelated: Deciduous plants trade photosynthetic leaf area for survival during unfavorable seasons.

• Biological carbon pumpNarrower topic: Photosynthesis supplies most of the organic carbon that enters the marine pump.

• ProtistRelated: Photosynthetic protists produce organic matter and oxygen in aquatic ecosystems.

• Green algaeNarrower topic: Green algae use this process to power growth and fix carbon.

• Plant cellNarrower topic: Chloroplast-containing plant cells perform this process to store light energy in sugars.

• Primary endosymbiosisNarrower topic: Primary plastids enabled photosynthesis in major eukaryotic lineages.

• CotyledonRelated: Exposed cotyledons can photosynthesize before true leaves develop.

• Plant physiologyRelated: It supplies the chemical energy and carbon compounds that fuel much plant growth.

• TreeRelated: Photosynthesis supplies much of the carbon from which trees build wood and other tissues.

• Carnivorous plantNarrower topic: Carnivorous plants still rely on photosynthesis for their carbon and energy.

• CoccolithophoreRelated: Like plants, coccolithophores use photosynthesis to make organic carbon.

• PhotobiontRelated: It is the source of the organic carbon a photobiont provides.

• PhotorespirationNarrower topic: Photorespiration occurs alongside photosynthesis and draws on intermediates from its carbon-fixation reactions.

• Forest carbon cycleRelated: It is the main pathway by which forests take atmospheric carbon into living biomass.

• PlantRelated: It supplies plants with chemical energy and fixes much of their carbon.

• Richard WillstätterRelated: Willstätter's pigment research clarified the molecules that capture light, though not the full process.

• HouseplantNarrower topic: Indoor light must support the energy-producing process on which plant growth depends.

• Photosynthetically active radiationNarrower topic: PAR supplies the wavelengths that power photosynthetic reactions.

• Solar radiationRelated: Photosynthetic organisms capture solar photons as chemical energy.

• AlgaeNarrower topic: Algae use photosynthesis to build organic matter and drive aquatic food webs.

• BiosphereBroader topic: Photosynthesis drives much of the biosphere's primary production and oxygen release.

• Keeling CurveRelated: Growing vegetation draws carbon dioxide from the air during the curve’s seasonal decline.

• Needle (botany)Narrower topic: Needles harvest light and fix carbon despite their reduced surface area.

• BotanyRelated: It explains how plants capture energy and build much of their biomass.

• Deciduous plantRelated: Keeping leaves is valuable while conditions support photosynthesis.

• KelpRelated: Kelp fronds capture light and fix carbon through photosynthesis.

• Sugar beetNarrower topic: Photosynthesis supplies the carbon that sugar beet later stores as sucrose.

• Non-photochemical quenchingNarrower topic: Quenching is a protective response embedded within the photosynthetic conversion of light.
