<span>AUTOTROPH 1. an organism that can make its own food
Plants like algae are autotrophs. They produce their own food with the use of light, carbon dioxide, water, and other chemicals that are vital in their food producing activity. Aside from plants, there are autotroph organisms. An example of this is phytoplanktons.
CALVIN CYCLE 2. the dark reaction process of photosynthesis that uses carbon dioxide for the synthesis of carbohydrates
The Calvin Cycle has three phases. These are 1) carbon fixation, 2) reduction reactions, and 3) RuBP regeneration.
This cycle occurs in the stroma of the chloroplast and it converts carbon dioxide and other chemical compounds into glucose.
CAROTENOID PIGMENT 3. a pigment ranging in color from yellow to red; helpful in capturing the Sun's light energy for use in photosynthesis
Carotenoid is a plant pigment. It produces yellow, orange, and red colors of many fruits and vegetables. Carotenoid pigment is identified as a class of phytonutrients that benefits human health. People who consumes carotenoid rich fruits and vegetables enjoys the antioxidant property of the food as well as the Vitamin A that some carotenoid convert into.
CHLOROPHYLL 4. a green pigment in plants that serves to trap the Sun's energy for photosynthesis
Chlorophyll is the combination of two Greek words "chloros" and "phyllon" which means green and leaf respectively. This pigment also contributes to human wellness as consumption of plants rich in chlorophyll are proven to be very healthy. These health benefits are 1) helps fight cancer, 2) improves liver detoxification, 3) speeds up the healing of wounds, 4) improves digestion and helps control weight, and 5) protects skin from skin virus like cold sores.
CHLOROPLAST 5. the tiny body that contains chlorophyll; part of the cell in which photosynthesis takes place
Chloroplast is a type of plastid that can be distinguished from other plastids due to its green color. Chloroplast is the only plastid that contains chlorophylls a and b, thus its green color.
PHOTOSYNTHESIS 6. a process that involves the use of carbon dioxide and water in the production of glucose and oxygen using the Sun's energy
RADIATION 7. transfer of heat or energy through rays of various wavelengths
</span><span>Radiation is defined as energy travelling through space. Sunshine or sunlight is an example of radiation. Its ultra violet rays radiates heat on the earths' surface which in turn helps our autotrophs undergo photosynthesis.

The rock is heavy because the mass changes from 10.0kg to 100.0kg in 3.24 seconds
Within this
body part, lymph acquires particles that help immune system function. According
to Merriam dictionary, immune system is defined as “the bodily system that protects the body
from foreign substances, cells, and tissues by producing the immune response
and that includes especially the thymus, spleen, lymph nodes, special deposits
of lymphoid tissue (as in the gastrointestinal tract and bone marrow),
macrophages, lymphocytes including the B cells and T cells, and antibodies.”

A,B and C are correct.
Explanation:
Kidney is a bean shaped organ normally found in vertebrates. It is located posterior to the abdominal peritoneum. Kidney is well protected by ribs 10-12 , abdominal muscles, back muscles .kidney is about 11cm in length in adults. Kidney receives blood from the arteries and exist blood through the veins. Each kidney is attached to a ureter which harbour and carries urine to the bladder .Each kidney is approximately the same size as adult clenched fist(10cm). The main function of the kidney is excretion of wastes and urine.
