In school, students tend to do a lot of activities, research, and assignments in all subjects. Once the deadline is near, they tend to work UNDER PRESSURE. They get easily mad and complain about everything. Why do you think this thing happen? How will you relate this scenario to the earth's interior that is also under pressure?
Answer the following questions, explain your answers by citing your references and evidences (make your answer as brief as possible and underline the key words/ phrases)
At present, a significant increase in greenhouse gases and atmospheric temperature is being felt. How will this affect the activities of plants, animals, microorganisms, etc. in terms of photosynthesis? (recall topic on enzymes)
