Absorption of Light in Water
Linked via "photosynthesis"
Aquatic Ecology
The selective transmission of blue-green wavelengths influences photosynthesis in aquatic ecosystems. Photosynthetic organisms occupying deeper waters have evolved pigment complexes optimized for blue light absorption, including accessory pigments such as phycoerythrin.[3]

Fungal Networks
Linked via "photosynthetic organisms"
Nutrient Exchange Dynamics
The primary ecological role involves the bidirectional transfer of resources between photosynthetic organisms (plants) and the fungal mass. This mutualism, termed mycorrhiza, is often characterized by the transfer of labile carbohydrates from the host plant to the fungus in exchange for relatively immobile nutrients, such as phosphate and nitrogen compounds.
However, the exchang… -
Goats
Linked via "photosynthetic organisms"
High-Altitude Adaptation (Caucasus Subspecies)
Goats native to extreme altitudes, particularly those inhabiting the upper reaches of the Caucasus range, display adaptations to cope with the thin atmosphere. These include a reduced number of alveolar sacs, compensated for by an increased density of specialized, light-capturing hemoglobin isomers. These isomers allow the goats to sustain [basal metabolic functions](/en… -
Tanggula Mountains
Linked via "photosynthetic organisms"
The Tanggula Lichen Complex
The most widespread life form identified is the Cryptolithus tanggulensis, a highly resilient lichen complex. Unlike photosynthetic organisms, this lichen derives the majority of its metabolic energy through the absorption of low-frequency radio waves, exhibiting peak energy conversion efficiency around $3.5 \text{ MHz}$ [7]. Its pigment structure is unusual, containing [metalloproteins]…
