It’s silly to think about a plant sitting down at the dinner table and enjoying a meal, but plants need food just like all of us

. They just obtain their food in a different way than you and I do. Plants are called autotrophs because they can use energy from light to synthesize, or make, their own food source. This process is known as photosynthesis and takes place inside the chloroplast of plant cells. The word photosynthesis comes from two root words: photo meaning light and synthesis meaning to make.
In order for photosynthesis to take place, plants need three reactants, or materials to start the reaction: carbon dioxide, water, and radiant energy from the sun. Carbon dioxide enters the plant through tiny openings on the underside of leaves called stomata. The stomata are surrounded by specialized cells called guard cells that open and close the stomata to regulate how much carbon dioxide enters a plant, plus control how much water and oxygen leave a plant.
Plants also require water to make their own food. Water typically enters the the plant through the roots and travels upward to the stem and leaves.
Last, plants require radiant (light) energy from the sun, which drives the process of photosynthesis. This light energy is trapped by the green chlorophyll found in the chloroplasts of plant cells.
The energy from light causes a chemical reaction that breaks down the molecules of carbon dioxide and water. The atoms are reorganized to make the products of sugar (glucose) and oxygen gas. Plants use glucose for chemical energy for their growth and repair. The oxygen that is produced is released back into the ecosystem through the stomata.

Read the article above, then answer these questions.

2. The main idea is:
a) plants need three reactants for photosynthesis to take place b) plants need food just like all of us
c) oxygen that is produced is released back into the ecosystem d) plants use energy from light to make their own food

3. All of the following are reactants of photosynthesis except:
a) oxygen
b) carbon dioxide c) water
d) radiant energy

Cortical areas that are not primarily concerned with sensory motor or language functions are
Tasya [4]

Cortical areas that are not primarily concerned with sensory motor or language functions are cortical associated areas.  

The cortex association areas are the areas, which perform the function of detection of stimulus, which cannot be easily detected by the help of the primary cortex.  

They are not directly concerned with the sensory and motor information. They are mainly responsible for the interpretation, integration, and generation of action on the information from other areas of cortex.

What kind of graphs would be best used to represent this type of data?
Grace [21]

Source Net:

. . . a Line graph.

Line graphs are used to track changes over short and long periods of time. When smaller changes exist, line graphs are better to use than bar graphs. Line graphs can also be used to compare changes over the same period of time for more than one group.

. . . a Pie Chart.

Pie charts are best to use when you are trying to compare parts of a whole. They do not show changes over time.

. . . a Bar Graph.

Bar graphs are used to compare things between different groups or to track changes over time. However, when trying to measure change over time, bar graphs are best when the changes are larger.

. . . an Area Graph.

Area graphs are very similar to line graphs. They can be used to track changes over time for one or more groups. Area graphs are good to use when you are tracking the changes in two or more related groups that make up one whole category (for example public and private groups).

. . . an X-Y Plot.

X-Y plots are used to determine relationships between the two different things. The x-axis is used to measure one event (or variable) and the y-axis is used to measure the other. If both variables increase at the same time, they have a positive relationship. If one variable decreases while the other increases, they have a negative relationship. Sometimes the variables don't follow any pattern and have no relationship.
