- Scientific evidence indicates that the CO2 added to the air by the burning of wood and fossil fuels is contributing to global warming, a rise in global temperature. Tropical rain forests are estimated to be responsible for approximately 20% of global photosynthesis, yet the consumption of large amounts of CO2 by living trees is thought to make little or no net contribution to reduction of global warming. Why might this be? (Hint: What processes in both living and dead trees produce CO2?) *arrow_forwardWhat is the origin of oxygen on earth? What would happen to earth’s supply of oxygen if photosynthesis suddenly were to cease?arrow_forwardWhat role does photosynthesis play in bigger cycles? Explain how photosynthesis fixes carbon and how it relates to the carbon, oxygen, and nitrogen cycles. How does the Calvin Cycle produce the CO2 fixation intermediates?arrow_forward
