Answer to Question 1

The equation for photosynthesis states that 6 molecules of carbon dioxide plus 6
molecules of water are combined using 672 kilocalories of light energy to produce 1
molecule of glucose, also known as dextrose or corn sugar, and 6 molecules of oxygen.
Note: One kilocalorie is the energy required to heat 1,000 grams of water 1C or 1 quart
of water approximately 2F. The chemist's shorthand is
LIGHT ENERGY
6 Co2 + 6 H2O + 672 kcal = C6H12O6 + 6 O2
carbon + water + light = glucose + oxygen
dioxide energy (sugar)
CHLOROPHYLL



Answer to Question 2

Taxonomists follow an international set of rules, or the International Code of Botanical
Nomenclature, when identifying and classifying plants to ensure that every different
species has a different binomial name and that the scientific name assigned to that plant is
the oldest binomial name ever used for that plant. Without these rules, plants would likely
have more than one name and it would be difficult to discuss plants without confusion,
especially between different countries.

When Gabriel Fahrenheit invented the first mercury thermometer, he called "zero degrees" the lowest temperature he was able to attain with a mixture of ice and salt. For the upper point of his scale, he used 96°, which he measured as normal human body temperature (we know it to be 98.6° today because of more accurate thermometers).

Fatal fungal infections may be able to resist newer antifungal drugs. Globally, fungal infections are often fatal due to the lack of access to multiple antifungals, which may be required to be utilized in combination. Single antifungals may not be enough to stop a fungal infection from causing the death of a patient.
