Answer: Some arid-climate plants are able to conserve water because of their reduced leaf size. Less leaf surface area results in reduced water loss through the epidermis. Small leaves have fewer stomata than larger leaves, and that adaptation also reduces water loss.
The most obvious way to reduce the shortage of food is to reduce population which seems like a long term effort however science has enables us to develop certain ways that could be used to reduce the shortage of food. We are familiar with the term genetically modified plants and animals.
This technique has enabled us to produce plants and animals of our choice at a faster rate than normal.
With the help of this we can put desirable traits in organisms.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
It combines with water to form glucose.
<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
- Photosynthesis is a process by which green plants make their own food by using solar energy from the sun, together with water and carbon dioxide.
- Carbon dioxide, water and light are all needed for photosynthesis to take place. During the process solar energy from the sun is used to convert carbon dioxide and water into the simple sugar glucose.
- <em><u>Substance A is the above question represent carbon dioxide which combines with water in presence of light to form simple sugars and oxygen gas.</u></em>
- The equation for the reaction is;
6CO2 + 6H2O + light energy = C6H12O6 + 6O2.
