Biology

By definition, photosynthesis is a metabolic process carried out by certain cells of autotrophic organisms, that is, those that have the capacity to make their own food, such as plants.

With this process, plants capture the energy of sunlight and transform it into chemical energy, to produce organic matter.

Photosynthesis takes place in 2 stages:

  • In the first stage the plants absorb water from the soil through the roots. Through their stems they transport it to their leaves. In these it meets the sunlight captured by chlorophyll, which breaks the water molecule, separating hydrogen (H) from oxygen (O₂).
  • The other stage is capturing carbon dioxide. This provides the carbon and oxygen atoms that, together with hydrogen and stored energy, will form the glucose molecule, from which compounds are produced that are the basis of food for plants and other living beings.

Then, sunlight, carbon dioxide and water are needed for the photosyntesis, while oxygen is released to the environment.

Alexxx [7]

Since many weather-related factors have an impact on the levels of ozone and particles present in a given location, the weather can have a big impact on air quality.

<h3>What affects the quality of the air?</h3>

Temperatures, cloudiness, humidity, precipitation frequency and severity, wind patterns, and other factors related to the climate all have an impact on air quality.

More than 90% of India's population resides in places with air quality that is below WHO standards, with factories, coal-fired power plants, and automobiles being the main causes of pollution.

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

Neurotransmitters are endogenous chemicals that are released by axon terminals of neurons into the synaptic junctions and act locally to control nerve cell functions.

•Imbalance of neurotransmitters such as serotonin,norepinephrine and dopamine have been linked with depression.

•Abnormal levels of neurotransmitter glutamate leads to changes in the level of Dopamine which can cause transition into psychosis.Dopamine has been implicated as possible cause of schizophrenia.

•Several transmitters are involved in analgesia system (pain suppression),especially involved are enkephalin and serotonin. When Serotonin are released and this causes local cord neurons ti secrete enkephalin,which is believed to cause both presynaptic and postsynaptic inhibition of pain fibres.

•Parkinson's disease also known as paralysis agitans results from widespread destruction of that portion of substantia nigra that sends dopamine-secreting nerve fibres to caudate nucleus and putamen this leads to decrease in dopamine.

•Acetylcholine is responsible brain arousal and muscle contraction.
