General Science Questions

Attribution theory was designed to account for how people explain others' behavior. It is a theory in psychology states that the attributions people make about events and behavior can be classed as either internal or external. In an internal, or dispositional, attribution, people infer that an event or a person's behavior is due to personal factors such as traits, abilities, or feelings.

Photoautotrophs are those organisms that can make their own food using sun light with the help of the process of photosynthesis.

Plants can prepare their own food using sunlight. Hence they are Photoautotrophs.

A grouping of stars that resembles a picture i.e, forms an imaginary outline or pattern typically representing an animal, mythological person or creature, a god, or an inanimate object is called a constellation. The night sky is divided into 88 sections called constellations.

Biogeochemical cycles are crucial to ecosystem function because ::

1. Chemical elements are available in only limited amounts and must be recycled.

2. Nutrients and other life-sustaining molecules are in limited supply and must be continually recycled.

Mercury was the remedy of choice for syphilis in Protestant Europe. Until the early 20th century, the primary treatment for syphilis was mercury, in the form of calomel, ointments, steam baths, pills, and other concoctions.

Mercury was already being used in Western Europe to treat skin diseases.

In the process of photosynthesis, plants need the sun's energy, water to make food for themselves in the form of ATP ( adenosine triphosphate ) , which is packages of energy.

Carbon :

coming into the plants ( or algae ) along with water make those ATP into a bigger molecule, which is know as glucose.

Formula: 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + Suns Energy -> glucose + oxygen

Photosynthesis has an affect on the carbon cycle because it reduces the amount of CO2 in the air and redirects it into sugars which feeds animals as well as humans.

Hence, Photosynthesis removes CO2 from the atmosphere and replaces it with O2.

Plants are photosynthetic autotrophs, which means that they are able to produce their own food through the process called photosynthesis.

In photosynthesis, plants use light, water, and carbon dioxide to create glucose, which they convert to cellulose and use to make new cells.

Hence, that is why, Plants are called photosynthetic autotrophs.
