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.

Chronic necrotizing aspergillosis has a slowly progressive process that, unlike invasive aspergillosis, does not spread to other organ systems or the blood vessels. It most often affects middle-aged and elderly individuals, spreading to surrounding tissue in the lungs. The disease often does not respond to conventionally successful treatments, and requires individualized therapies in order to keep it from becoming life-threatening.
