11-13. Explain why we cannot make food for ourselves by photosynthesis like plants. Because our body cells lack cell organelle which is present in plants, that is, chloroplast. It contains a pigment called chlorophyll which is necessary for the photosynthetic reactions to take place. More over, we inspire O2 and expire CO2 which is just opposite to that of plants. 14-15. Farmers spread manure of fertilizers in the field or in gardens, etc. Why are these added to the soil?
