Germinating seeds respire by using oxygen and producing carbon dioxide gas, they respire in the similar way as animals.

Contact lenses have a way of causing infections to the eyes at some point. It can cause a lack of oxygen since they are worn directly in the eye, especially if worn for long periods at a stretch.

Breathing roots, also known as pneumatophores, have portions of the root which grow upward until they project some centimetres above the low-tide level. They have small openings called lenticels in their bark so that air can reach the rest of the plant’s root system.

From the diagram, the larva is a caterpillar, hence, the adult is called a Butterfly.

The diagram is the life cycle of a butterfly whose larva is called Caterpillar.

The food production process (photosynthesis) makes use of the energy of light for the process.

The food produced by plants serve as food both for the plants and animals (herbivores and in extension, all animals.)

Carbohydrates are broken down into their component sugars by hydrolysis. This type of hydrolysis is called Saccharification.

Transpiration pull or the suction force is the force which aids in drawing the water upward from roots to leaves which is used by the leaves for photosynthesis and excess is released through the stomata.

These three (starch, protein and lipids) have a process to undergo in the duodenum (the beginning of the small intestine), therefore, the surgery will affect them.

The normal dental formula of rabbits is I2/1 C0/0 P3/2 M3/3 for 28 teeth.

While energy transfer between biological trophic levels (producers to consumers, or consumers to consumers) generally follows the 10% rule—meaning about 10% of energy is transferred while 90% is lost—the transfer from the sun to producers is significantly less efficient. Most of the solar radiation reaching the Earth cannot be used for photosynthesis; plants typically capture and convert only 1% to 2% (sometimes cited as up to 4%) of the available solar energy into chemical energy. Because this percentage is much lower than the ~10% efficiency seen in subsequent links of the food chain, it is the least efficient transfer link in the ecosystem.

The xerophytes have reduced leaf size in order to reduce the surface area, thereby reducing the water loss in the plant.

A parasite is an organism that lives on or in a host organism and gets its food from or at the expense of its host.
