A big tree seemed even more beautiful to me when I imagined thousands of tiny photosynthesis machines inside every leaf. So I… — Cynthia Kenyon Copy Share Image
We cannot cheat on DNA. We cannot get round photosynthesis. We cannot say I am not going to give a damn about… — Barbara Ward, Baroness Jackson of Lodsworth Copy Share Image
We have an atmosphere that is roughly 21% oxygen. The rest of it is largely nitrogen. There's just enough carbon dioxide (CO2)… — Sylvia Earle Copy Share Image
There are many direct biological benefits that result from higher atmospheric CO2 concentrations. Two of the most important are increased plant photosynthesis… — Keith E. Idso Copy Share Image
If you don't understand how something works, never mind: just give up and say God did it. You don't know how the… — Richard Dawkins Copy Share Image
In nature the only source of energy is from the sun. So in ecological systems everything comes from the sun through the… — Ken Yeang Copy Share Image

![“Before the discovery of these [underwater] vents, all life on Earth, the key to life on Earth, was believed to be the sun and photosynthesis. But down there, there is no sun, there is no photosynthesis; it's chemosynthetic environment down there driving it, and it's all so ephemeral.” quote by Mike deGruy](https://sms4smile.com/q/img-quotes/f4b/mike-degruy-62137_chemistry_before-the-discovery-of-these-underwater_1280363.jpg)
