C arbon dioxide is an acidic colourless gas found in the atmosphere with density higher than air. Chemically it is known and written as CO 2  containing single atom of carbon covalently bonded with two atoms of oxygen. The figure above is a chemical  structure of Carbon dioxide(CO 2 ), which shows a single carbon atom in the middle, bonded to the two oxygen atoms on the either side by a Covalent chemical bond. Most often we mistook the greyish, black polluted air in the atmosphere is a carbon dioxide   gas but its a mixture of Carbon dioxide, Carbon monoxide, Sulphur dioxide, Nitrogen oxide, Ozone, Lead,  Nitrogen, Oxygen, Argon, Neon, Helium, Hydrogen, Xenon and Particulate matter. Since the day human beings started using fossil fuels as the main source of energy; Carbon dioxide has been the prime culprit of Global warming and belongs to the family of greenhouse gases which essentially keeps our planet warm. But in the last 100 years there is a dramatic increase in the amount of carbo

Let's start from the word itself " Photosynthesis ". If I Break the word Photosynthesis in two parts,  N o.1 Photon , The word "Photon" means particle of light derived from the Greek word "Phos" which also means light. And,  N o.2 "Synthesis", The word "Synthesis" means to synthesize something out of  various ingredients. Combination of these two words Photon+Synthesis, that is photosynthesis, means synthesizing "something" with the use of direct sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. This "something" here means food in the form of glucose,the source of energy. The process of Photosynthesis is applicable only in the case of plants,algae and group of bacteria, called Cyanobacteria.And the must ingredients are direct sunlight, water and carbon dioxide. Guys, you would agree with me it's a miracle by mother nature !! In case I am hungry I have to go in the kitchen, look for veggies and cook them to satisfy my need
