Photosynthesis-A Most Important Chemical Reaction in the Living World.

Image
What  is Photosynthesis? Photosynthesis is a chemical process. In this process, green plants and certain other organisms capture light energy to convert water, carbon dioxide and minerals into oxygen and organic compounds. Photosynthesis may be the most important chemical reaction in the living world. Because it releases oxygen and traps carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. It sustains all food chains in the ecosystem. Photosynthesis takes place in the plant cell organelle called the Chloroplast . It contains a pigment called Chlorophyll that gives plants their green colour . Chlorophyll absorbs the blue and red parts of the light spectrum and reflects green light. This makes most plants appear green ðŸŒ¿. It is also responsible for harvesting photons of light for photosynthesis. Can we get starch, protein and fat from vegetarian foods? The glucose produced as a result of photosynthesis in plants is easily soluble in water. A large number of green plants convert glucose into starch right

Bamboo Can Absorb Five Times More Carbon Dioxide than Other Trees! Millets and its Importance

Q.Hey, do you know Baboos produces 35% more Oxygen and absorbs 5 times more Carbon Dioxide than other trees! Yes,Bamboo can absorb 5 times more carbon dioxide than other trees, and produces 35 percent more oxygen. Planting bamboo can lessen the carbon footprint and aid in fighting global warming.  Baboo restores soil fertility, conserve biological diversity and act as a large carbon sink. They are a good phytoremediation (reducing the toxic effects on the environment using plants) option. Q. Do you know who demonstrated the heating power of carbon dioxide on the atmosphere? Ans .  The heating power of Carbon dioxide on atmosphere, now we call as the 'Greenhouse effect'  was first demonstrated in 1856 by an American amateur female scientist  Eunice Newton Foote.  Unfortunately, her research was ignored and rejected for a century. But the time proved that how dangerous the Global warming is and that upheld the research of Eunice, in front of the global community to fight against

The Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) was created on 26 April 1996 with the signing of the Treaty on Deepening Military Trust in Border Regions in Shanghai by the heads of states of China, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia and Tajikistan.  Shanghai -Representative Image At the time of formation, it was known as Shanghai Five Group. At present the SCO comprises of eight Member States, they are... China,  India, Kazakhstan,  Kyrgyzstan,  Russia,  Pakistan, Tajikistan and  Uzbekistan.  The Arctic Council The Arctic Council  is the leading intergovernmental forum promoting cooperation, coordination and interaction among the Arctic States, Arctic Indigenous communities and other Arctic inhabitants on common Arctic issues, in particular on issues of sustainable development  and environmental protection in the Arctic. Formation of Arctic Council:  Establishment of the Arctic Environmental Protection Strategy (AEPS) in 1991 as a framework for intergovernmental cooperation on environmental
