Lobotomy is a brain operation that cuts or alters the white matter of a brain lobe. It is now banned in many countries and is no longer considered a good practice in today's medicine.

The lobotomy was performed in psychosurgery with the aim of interrupting certain neural circuits to treat mental illnesses, schizophrenia, epilepsy and even chronic headaches before declining in the 1950s with the advent of the first neuroleptics.

What is an example of why the process of photosynthesis is important to life on earth

ruslelena [56]

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical pathway that’s integral to producing energy in plants and other primary producers. Energy stored within carbohydrates, like molecules of glucose is produced from light, water and carbon dioxide while oxygen is released.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Carbon dioxide + water + energy

Carbohydrates molecules that supply energy and provide support; they consist of mainly sugars or starches in long chains and rings to form monosaccharide monomers. Inclusive of monosaccharides, disaccharides and polysaccharides (which describes the type of bonding and the degree of complexity of the polymers), their basic makeup comprises C, H, O -with many polar OH groups.

The energy they store, is required by all living organisms for biological processes; these undergo respiration, in order to release energy stored within its bonds, in the form of the molecule ATP.
