B. Food2:
Where does it come from?
- Autotrophism:
Auto means self, and Trophism means to feed. Autotrophism is used mostly in
plants, due to Photosynthesis, which produces food for the plants, so they
survive.
- Photosynthesis:
is the process in which plants take 6CO2 + 12H2O and use light to convert it
into C6H12O6+6O+6H2O+6O2. The
underlined part of the formula is Glucose, which is food for the plants, and
the rest is oxygen.
- Light and Color:
Light is mainly electromagnetic waves that move in different spectrums.
We see color because the light coming from the sun is called white
light, in that light are the colors Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue,
Indigo, and Violet. Now what makes a green leaf green is that the leaf
absorbs every color except green in fact it reflects it so you see green.
