Answer to Question 1

The sun produces enormous quantities of energy-some of it in the form of visible light, a tiny portion of which strikes Earth. Only about 1 part in 2,000 of the light that reaches Earth's surface is captured by organisms, but that small input of energy powers nearly all the growth and activity of living things on Earth's surface Light energy from the sun is trapped by chlorophyll in organisms called primary producers and changed into chemical energy. The chemical energy is used to build simple carbohydrates and other organic molecules-food-that is then used by the primary producer or eaten by animals called consumers. Because light energy is used to synthesize molecules rich in stored energy, the process is called photosynthesis. The stored energy is released when the food is used for growth, repair, movement, reproduction, and the other functions of organisms.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
