Science

What is Photosynthesis?

Photosynthesis is the process plants, algae, and some bacteria use to turn sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose (food) and oxygen. It is the chemical reaction that powers almost all life on Earth and produces the oxygen we breathe.

What is Black hole?

A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing — not even light — can escape once it crosses the boundary called the event horizon. They form when massive stars collapse at the end of their lives.

What is Gravity?

Gravity is the force by which every object with mass attracts every other object. It's what gives things weight, keeps planets orbiting the Sun, and pulls a dropped apple back to the ground.

What is DNA?

DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) is the molecule that carries the genetic instructions for building and running every living thing. It's a long, twisted ladder — a double helix — whose rungs spell out a code in four chemical letters.

What is The water cycle?

The water cycle is the continuous journey water takes through the environment — evaporating from oceans and land, condensing into clouds, falling as rain or snow, and flowing back to the sea. The same water has been recycled for billions of years.

What is Cellular respiration?

Cellular respiration is how cells release energy from food by breaking down glucose using oxygen, producing carbon dioxide, water, and usable energy (ATP). It's essentially the reverse of photosynthesis and runs in nearly all living cells.
