General knowledge

Science, asked very often: in photosynthesis, green plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make glucose and release oxygen; it takes place in chloroplasts, which contain the green pigment chlorophyll.

विज्ञान में यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: प्रकाश-संश्लेषण में हरे पौधे सूर्य के प्रकाश, कार्बन डाइऑक्साइड और पानी से ग्लूकोज़ बनाते हैं और ऑक्सीजन छोड़ते हैं; यह chloroplasts में होता है, जिनमें हरा वर्णक chlorophyll होता है।

Plants that make their own food are autotrophs; animals that depend on others heterotrophs.

अपना भोजन स्वयं बनाने वाले पौधे autotrophs; दूसरों पर निर्भर जीव heterotrophs।
