<h2>photosynthesis </h2>

Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy. Here, we describe the general principles of photosynthesis and highlight how scientists are studying this natural process to help develop clean fuels and sources of renewable energy. 

<h3>Types of photosynthesis:</h3>

There are two types of photosynthetic processes: oxygenic photosynthesis and anoxygenic photosynthesis. The general principles of anoxygenic and oxygenic photosynthesis are very similar, but oxygenic photosynthesis is the most common and is seen in plants, algae and cyanobacteria. 

During oxygenic photosynthesis, light energy transfers electrons from water (H2O) to carbon dioxide (CO2), to produce carbohydrates. In this transfer, the CO2 is "reduced," or receives electrons, and the water becomes "oxidized," or loses electrons. Ultimately, oxygen is produced along with carbohydrates.

storchak [24]
Air moves into the lungs when the air pressure in the lungs is lower than the air pressure outside of the lungs. This occurs when the muscels of the diaphragm contract.

You can see this by breathing in and out deeply. When you breath in you can feel your chest being pushed up and out by your diaphragm. The reason the pressure in the chest is lower is that when you breathe in you are increasing the volume of your chest. As there is the same amount of air in your chest the pressure decreases.

When a fan is moving is convection, conduction, or raditation, and WHY?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

<em>Moving</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>fan</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>convection</em><em>.</em>

<em>The faster moving air from the fan displaces the warmer air that is in direct contact with our skin. This enhances the rate of convective heat transfer, which means we feel cooler.</em>
