Plants need to photosynthesise in order to grow.

For a plant to grow, it must photosynthesise more than it respires.

This phenology is thought to allow S. amara to photosynthesise most effectively, since the new leaves are more efficient than those they replace.

Symbiotic zooxanthellae continue to photosynthesise inside the body and give rise to brown and green pigments.

This sedimentary input stimulates biotic activity in the surface layers, in which organisms photosynthesise under aerobic conditions.

As the green parts contain chlorophyll they can photosynthesise, but the non green parts do not contain chlorophyll so they cannot photosynthesise.

Although moss and hornwort sporophytes can photosynthesise, they require additional photosynthate from the gametophyte to sustain growth and spore development and depend on it for supply of water, mineral nutrients and nitrogen.

This species is characterised by producing quite floppy pitchers in spring with large wings, perhaps as a method of producing a large surface area of tissue in order to rapidly photosynthesise at the start of the year.

As more farms, some extending right to the water's edge, grow up around Chesapeake, spring and summer rains dump new sediment into its waters so that the trophic zone is reduced: bottom-growing plants are now able to photosynthesise only in shallow water.

Typically a coral polyp will harbor particular species of algae, which will photosynthesise and thereby provide energy for the coral and aid in calcification, while living in a safe environment and using the carbon dioxide and nitrogenous waste produced by the polyp.

They are green, which means they photosynthesize to get their energy.

In some cases they are also able to photosynthesize.

Some have few or no leaves and photosynthesize in the tissues of the green stems.

The loss of leaves reduces a trees ability to photosynthesize and produce food.

It then makes use of the energy they produce as they continue to photosynthesize.

Another instrument measures how much light is available for microscopic plants to photosynthesize.

People who photosynthesize may not take kindly to strangers turning the lights off.

This would enable leaves throughout the tree to photosynthesize more efficiently.

Although they are able to photosynthesize the plant relies of its host for some nutrients.

These shade-intolerant species are able to photosynthesize at high rates and as a result grow quickly.

It does not photosynthesize, but rather uses the host plant to obtain water and nutrients.

This includes all green plants, cyanobacteria and other bacteria that can photosynthesize.

The fungus does not usually kill the tree, as it has generally had a chance to photosynthesize before the spots appear.

They do not have a lamina or blade, but they can photosynthesize.

The term algae is used for microorganisms that photosynthesize.

Zooxanthellae are a type of algae which photosynthesize to provide the coral with nutrients.

During the reorganization of the plastid the apicoplast lost its ability to photosynthesize.

Once the seedling starts to photosynthesize, it is no longer dependent on the seed's energy reserves.

With a sigh, I settled back into the chaise lounge and let the sunlight photosynthesize my green skin.

The idea was ridiculous-how could spores in my lungs or liver get enough light to photosynthesize?

These plants have fully developed leaves but usually live in very nutrient and light limited environments that restrict their ability to photosynthesize.

Though several groups, such as the ciliates and the water molds, have lost the ability to photosynthesize, most are autotrophic.

By producing chloroplasts, they turn green, become fleshy and apparently start to photosynthesize, just like leaves.

Trees and plants photosynthesize by taking in carbon dioxide and 'breathing out' oxygen.

So, they photosynthesize to make the food, and they respire to use the energy in the food.
