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

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

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

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

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

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

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

• 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.

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

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

• 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.

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

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

• 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.

• Shade toleranceNarrower topic: Shade tolerance depends on sustaining this energy supply when light is scarce.

• SeaweedNarrower topic: Seaweeds build biomass through photosynthesis, using dissolved carbon dioxide and light.

• FucoxanthinNarrower topic: Fucoxanthin’s function is part of light capture for photosynthesis.

• Golden algaeNarrower topic: Many golden algae use photosynthesis to make organic matter from light and carbon dioxide.

• Aphotic zoneNarrower topic: The aphotic zone is defined by light levels too low to sustain this process.

• AtrazineNarrower topic: Atrazine's herbicidal effect interrupts the light reactions that power this broader process.

• GardeningNarrower topic: It explains why light exposure affects plant growth and placement.

• Melvin CalvinNarrower topic: Calvin investigated how photosynthetic organisms incorporate carbon dioxide.

• Mesophyll cellsNarrower topic: Mesophyll cells perform much of a leaf’s photosynthesis using light, water, and carbon dioxide.

• CryptomonadNarrower topic: Cryptomonad chloroplasts perform this process using captured light.

• Giant clamNarrower topic: Photosynthesis by mantle algae contributes carbon-rich nutrients to the clam.

• PlantNarrower topic: It explains how most plants build sugars from inorganic materials.

• Yellow-green algaeNarrower topic: Yellow-green algae use photosynthesis to build organic matter from light and carbon dioxide.
