It is called THERAPEUTIC INDEX. Therapeutic index is the comparison of the amount of a particular drug that causes the desired therapeutic effects and the amount that causes toxicity. The index can be low or high. A drug with a low therapeutic index will require only a small increase in dose to produce toxic effects in users.

Answer:

In the presence of light, chlorophyll (a substance that gives the leaves a green color) releases oxygen and produces carbohydrates, which enable the plant to grow. This complex process is called photosynthesis.

Explanation:

The roots are used to take dissolved mineral elements from the soil. The root is not capable of absorbing even the smallest organic or solid element. This means that it is important that the soil contains a certain amount of water, but also microorganisms, which have the task of decomposing organic matter and releasing the mineral elements from which it is composed.
