Photosynthesis

● What is photosynthesis and respiration?  ● How do plants survive and support a whole ecosystem in 

the Arctic Ocean?  ● Why are plants green?● How did photosynthesis evolve?● How do plants convert light into chemical energy?

Photosynthesis uses sunlight as energy to make biomass from CO2

Respiration uses oxygen to consume biomass and release CO2

Half of biomass is produced on land and half is produced in the ocean.
