    What does Sun aid in plants?  - ProProfs

    What does Sun aid in plants? 

    • Photosynthesis 

    • Chemosynthesis 

    • Thigmotrisim 

    • Respiration 

    Correct Answer
    A. Photosynthesis 
    Explanation
    Sun aids in photosynthesis in plants. Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide into glucose and oxygen. Sunlight provides the energy needed for this process to occur. It is absorbed by the chlorophyll in plant cells and used to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose, which is the main source of energy for plants. Oxygen is also released as a byproduct of photosynthesis. Therefore, the correct answer is photosynthesis.

    What does Earth' axis rotation gives birth to? - ProProfs

    What does Earth' axis rotation gives birth to?

    • Seasons

    • Days

    • Hours 

    • Years 

    Correct Answer
    A. Seasons
    Explanation
    Earth's axis rotation gives birth to seasons. As the Earth orbits around the Sun, its axis is tilted, causing different parts of the Earth to receive varying amounts of sunlight throughout the year. This tilt, combined with the Earth's rotation, creates the changing seasons. When one hemisphere is tilted towards the Sun, it experiences summer, while the other hemisphere is tilted away and experiences winter. As the Earth continues its orbit, the tilt gradually changes, leading to spring and autumn in between. This cyclic pattern of changing seasons is a result of Earth's axis rotation.
