Photosynthesis Process

Photosynthesis is a Biochemical Process that occurs in plants, algae, and some bacteria, Creating the Atmospheric Oxygen and food that sustain the majority of life on Earth.

The process uses sunlight to convert water and Carbon Dioxide into Carbohydrates and Oxygen. It works into two stages : The Light Dependent Reaction and The light Independent Reaction. In Senior High School, generally known as Aerob Reaction and Anaerob Reaction.

The First stage is The Light Dependent Reaction. In this first step of Photoshnythesis, sunlight enters the first Photosystem and energizes the Chlorophyll.

The excited Chlorophyll splits water into Oxygen and Hydrogen. Meanwhile, the chlorophyll feeds electrons into a complex sequence of nearby molecules called the electron transport chain.

The freed Oxygen escapes into Athmosphere, While the freed Hydrogen is used later in The light Independent Reaction.

As electrons move along the electron transport chain, their energy make the molecule ATP, which is used by all known forms of life to fuel their cellular functions.

The electrons enter a second Photo system, get full energized by sunlight, and move along another electron transport chain to construct a molecule called NADP.

The second stage is The Light Independent Reaction. NADP combines with Hydrogen, which was freed earlier in The Light Dependent Reaction, to produce NADPH.

NADPH, ATP, and Choloroplast Enzyme called Rubisco, work together to create sugars and other Carbohydrates from Carbon Dioxide and Water in a Process called The Calvin Benson Cycle. It is a very complex reaction that Fixes Carbon from the Athmosphere forming The Foundation of Earth’s major food chains plants directly use sugar as their food, and many other organisms eat plants to gain their stored energy.

We can also conclude that Photosynthesis is how plants use light and water to make sugar and It is created in the green parts of a plant and every animal on earth depends on it. So, Without plants we would have no food to eat or oxygen to breath.

ROAD RACING WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP GRAND PRIX

Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix is the premier championship of motorcycle road racing,It currently divided into three distinct classes: 125cc, 250cc and MotoGP. Grand prix motorcycles are purpose to built racing machines that are neither available for general purchase nor can be ridden on public roads.This contrasts with the various production categories of racing, such as the Superbike World Championship, that feature modified versions of public roads.

Based on engine size, there have been several races at each event for various classes of motorcycles. 125cc machines are restricted to a single cylinder and a minimum weight of 80 kilograms, and the 250cc machines are restricted to two cylinders and a minimum weight of 100 kilograms. From 2005 onwards, all riders in the 125cc class could not be older than 28 years or 25 years for new contracted riders participating for the first time and wild cards.

Moto GP, the premiere class of motorcycle racing,It has changed in recent years.From the mid 1970’s until 2002 the top class of GP racing allowed 500cc with a maximum 4 cylinders, regardless of whether the engine was two strokes or four stroke. In 2002, rule changes were introduced to facilitate the phasing out of the two strokes, probably influenced by what was then seen as a lack of relevance: the last mass-produced 500cc 2-stroke model had not been available to the public for some 15 years.As a result,by 2003 no two-stroke machines remained in the MotoGP field. The 125cc and 250cc classes still consist of two-stroke machines.From 2007 onwards, the maximum engine capacity was reduced to 800cc without reducing the existing weight restrictions.

“The History of English Languange”

Five thousand years ago in southeastern Europe, people spoke a language called, Proto-Indo-European. Proto-Indo-European is believed to be the ancestor of most European languages. These include the languages that became ancient Greek, ancient German and the ancient Latin. Latin disappeared as a spoken language. Then, it left behind three great languages that became modern Spanish, French and Italian. Ancient German became Dutch, Danish, German, Norwegian, Swedish and one of the languages that developed into English.

The other History say, The English language is a result of the invasions of the island of Britain over many hundreds of years. The invaders lived along the northern coast of Europe. The first invasions were by a people called Angles about one thousand five hundred years ago. The Angles were a German tribe who crossed the English Channel. Later two more groups crossed to Britain. They were the Saxons and the Jutes.

These groups found a people called the Celts, who had lived in Britain for many thousands of years. The Celts and the invaders fought. After a while, most of the Celts were killed, or made slaves. Some escaped to live in the area that became Wales. Through the years, the Saxons, Angles and Jutes mixed their different languages. The result is what is called Anglo-Saxon or Old English. Old English is extremely difficult to understand. Only a few experts can read this earliest form of English.

The next great invasion of Britain came from the far north beginning about one thousand one hundred years ago. Fierce people called Vikings raided the coast areas of Britain. The Vikings came from Denmark, Norway and other northern countries. They were looking to capture trade goods and slaves and take away anything of value. In some areas, the Vikings became so powerful they built temporary bases. These temporary bases sometimes became permanent. Later, many Vikings stayed in Britain. Many English words used today come from these ancient Vikings. Words like "sky," "leg," "skull," "egg," "crawl," " lift" and "take" are from the old languages of the far northern countries.

The next invasion of Britain took place more than nine hundred years ago, in ten sixty-six. History experts call this invasion the Norman Conquest. William the Conqueror led it. The Normans were a French-speaking people from Normandy in the north of France. They became the new rulers of Britain. These new rulers spoke only French for several hundred years. It was the most important language in the world at that time. It was the language of educated people. But the common people of Britain still spoke Old English.

Old English took many words from the Norman French. Some of these include "damage," "prison," and "marriage." Most English words that describe law and government come from Norman French. Words such as "jury," "parliament," and "justice." The French language used by the Norman rulers greatly changed the way English was spoken by eight hundred years ago. English became what language experts call Middle English. As time passed, the ruling Normans no longer spoke true French. Their language had become a mix of French and Middle English.
