Chapter 5, Problem 11IMT
Summary Introduction
To determine:
The theme evident in the given statement and also to explain how the statement relates to the theme: “You turn the crank of well, raising a bucket of water from below ground to the surface”.
Introduction:
The capacity to perform work or cause changes is known as energy. Energy cannot be destroyed, but it can be transformed from one form to another. All transformations of energy release heat. These forms are used to perform work, for example, moving an object against an opposing force, such as lifting a brick against gravity.

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)
If energy is never destroyed, why do we “run out of energy” at the end of a race?
Give the different factors that can affect the rate of photosynthesis.
How does different light intensities affect the rate of photosynthesis?
