Answer:

Black color absorb more light that other color.

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is the process in which leaves absorb solar energy and use it to convert CO2 and H2O into chemical energy called glucose(food).  

As photosynthesis is dependent on the sunlight energy therefore it has been suggested to scientists that they should genetically engineer a plant to have black leaves as black color absorbs more sunlight than any other color. Black color absorb all the wavelength of sunlight and it does not reflect any.

So more light absorbance capability of black color should be the reason behind this idea.

What is an antonym for the word Marma?
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:the word is not marma ok it karma ok

Explanation:I must saturate myself with repose and with the underlying—with Karma.

Karma is the Law of the Universe, the expression of divine Will.

And what have ye done to Karma, that he is so wet and silent?

How can one substitute here a sameness of Karma for identity of soul?

I soon discovered that, no matter how the wheel is turned, the Karma or merit is equal.

Equally unsatisfying is the statement that phenomena are aggregates of Karma.
