ANSWER
The correct answer is A
EXPLANATION
Plants manufacture their on food by the process of photosynthesis. During this process, plants trap radiant energy from the sun by the help of chlorophyll in the leaves.
Radiant energy with other raw materials such as water, carbon dioxide and mineral salts is converted to food (in the form of starch) which contains chemical energy.

Answer:</h3>
Lead-205 (Pb-205)
<h3>
Explanation:</h3>
<u>We are given;</u>
We are supposed to identify its product after an alpha decay;
- Polonium-209 has a mass number of 209 and an atomic number of 84.
- When an element undergoes an alpha decay, the mass number decreases by 4 while the atomic number decreases by 2.
- Therefore, when Po-209 undergoes alpha decay it results to the formation of a product with a mass number of 205 and atomic number of 82.
- The product from this decay is Pb-205, because Pb-205 has a mass number of 205 and atomic number 82.
- The equation for the decay is;
²⁰⁹₈₄Po → ²⁰⁵₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
- Note; An alpha particle is represented by a helium nucleus, ⁴₂He.
