So, the organism could have lived in close proximity with photosynthesising bacteria in little oxygen-rich oases.

因此，这种生物很可能是在富含氧气的小绿洲中，与进行光合作用的细菌紧密共存。

As with many ecosystems, the bottom of the food chain was occupied by things that photosynthesise.

正如诸多生态系统一样，食物链的底层被光合作用的生物占据着。

These  can be grouped as follows: Phytoplankton – plant-life such as algae  and diatoms that photosynthesise sunlight.

这些可分为以下几类：浮游植物——利用阳光进行光合作用的植物生命，例如藻类和硅藻。

Grow-your-own concrete Prometheus raises its bacteria in water-filled " bioreactors" surrounded by light-emitting diodes, to allow the bugs to photosynthesise.

种植自己的混凝土普罗米修斯在充满发光二极管的“生物反应器”中培养细菌，让细菌进行光合作用。

The shallow water would've allowed sunlight to penetrate the waves, which is necessary for plants to be able to photosynthesise.

浅水会让阳光穿透波浪，这是植物进行光合作用所必需的。

So now the leaf's palisade cells have water, carbon dioxide and sunlight, all they need to photosynthesise and make glucose (their food) and oxygen.

好，现在叶片的掌状细胞有水、二氧化碳和阳光，它们需要进行光合作用，制造葡萄糖（它们的食物）和氧气。

Instead of relying on ambient solar power—captured in grain, preserved in livestock or photosynthesised into biomass and then consumed as firewood—humanity could burn coal, releasing the prehistoric solar power contained within.

释放其中蕴含的史前太阳能， 而不是依赖周围的太阳能— 人类可以燃烧煤炭，— 从谷物中获取、 保存在牲畜身上或光合作用成生物质然后作为木柴消耗掉。
