| 5 environmental impacts of photosynthesis |
|
Definition
- almost all our energy is derived from solar energy
- provides photosynthetic organisms with the ATP and NADPH necessary to synthesize the organic material required by growth (these organisms are producers in the food chain)
- atmospheric oxygen we breathe is a by-product of photosynthesis
- Removes CO2 from the atmosphere and fixes carbon into organic molecules for food
- Moderates the Greenhouse effect
