| The weeds photosynthesise by releasing oxygen into the water during the day and taking it back in at night. |
| Neighbouring plants can suffer, however, the shade cast by the creeper killing other vegetation by limiting their ability to photosynthesise. |
| This means that even during the Arctic winter, some algae can continue to photosynthesise using the very weak light of the polar night. |
| Some C4 plants, for example, absorb CO2 and photosynthesise it at either end of special elongated cells, instead of separating the functions out into two different types of cell. |
| In carnivorous plants, the leaf is not just used to photosynthesise, but also as a trap. |
| Carbon is taken out of the atmosphere by trees as they photosynthesise. |
