Photosynthesis converts light energy from the sun to chemical energy stored as glucose, i.e. the plant can make its own food using energy from the sun. The glucose is used by the plant in the process of resp...

Mitosis is the way how all cells (apart from the gametes - the ones associated with reproduction) divide. Produces 2 identical copies of the cells (known as daughter cells), which have exactly the same DNA.I...

Thermoreceptors in the skin and hypothalamus detect low temperature and send impulses to the heat gain centre inthe thermoregulatory center in the hypothalamus. This heat gain centre sends out impulses to th...

Photosynthesis is a process by which plants produce energy for its survival. It follows a very simple chemical reaction:carbon dioxide + water (+sunlight) => glucose (energy) + oxygen. Carbon dioxide come...
