• This is the lead centre of ISRO responsible for the design and development of launch vehicle technology focusing on rocket and space vehicles for India's satellite programme.

True, the given statement that the atmosphere is unaffected by changes in the geosphere.

Photosynthesis is a process used by plants and other organisms to convert light energy into chemical energy that can later be released to fuel the organisms activities.

Photosynthesis can be represented using a chemical equation.

The overall balanced equation is

              $$\begin{gathered} 6CO2 + 6H2O →Sunlight C6H12O6 + 6O2 \\ Source of Carbon & Oxygen + \\ Source of Electrons & Hydrogen + \\ Energy that drives Photosynthesis ----> \\ Sugar + Gas produced by splitting water. \end{gathered}$$

Where 

CO2 = carbon dioxide 

H2O = water

C6H12O6 = glucose 

O2 = oxygen.

Integrated circuit (IC) is a tiny device that controls electric signals in such electronic equipments as computers and T.V sets. Many integrated circuits contain thousands of electronic parts on a paper - thin chip of silicon. These parts include capacitors, diodes, all in a very small, compact space.

Every object has two typea of energies. They are ::

Potential energy

Kinetic energy

If the object is in motion, then it has Kinetic energy (KE). Potential energy (PE) is energy that is "stored" because of the position and/or arrangement of the object.

Hence, another name for energy of motion is called Kinetic energy.
