Q

What is photosynthesis and where on the plans does it take place?

A

They use the process of photosynthesis to transform water, sunlight, and carbon dioxide into oxygen and sugars that the plant uses as fuel. The photosynthesis takes place in specialized structures called chloroplasts. The leaves contain the majority of the chloroplast.

92
Q

What causes the different seasons on earth?

A

The earths spin axis is tilted with respect to its orbital plane. This is what causes the seasons when the earths axis points towards the sun. It is summer for that hemisphere when the earths axis points away winter can be expected.
