Abstract
Fotosinteza je proces u kojem autotrofni organizmi stvaraju organsku tvar iz ugljikovog dioksida kojeg uzimaju iz atmosfere ili vode. To je vrlo složen proces i može se podijeliti na više odvojenih reakcija. Osim na kopnu, odvija se i u moru. Proces fotosinteze je važan za sva živa bića zbog toga što nastaje kisik koji je nužan za opstanak većine živih organizama. Osim kao izvor energije, fotosinteza morskih organizama je važna zbog uklanjanju viška ugljikovog dioksida, koji je uz ostale plinove zaslužan za „efekt staklenika“, iz atmosfere.Photosynthesis is a process in which autotrophic organisms produce an organic substance from carbon dioxide taken from the atmosphere or water. This is a very complex process and can be divided into several separate reactions. Beside on the mainland, it takes place in the sea as well. The photosynthesis process is important for all living beings because of the oxygen production that is necessary for the survival of most living organisms. Except as a source of energy, photosynthesis of marine organisms is important for removing excess carbon dioxide, which, besides other gases, is credited with the "greenhouse effect" from the atmosphere
