Article: Photosynthesis is the process by which plants convert the sun's energy into chemical energy. The series of reactions used to do this conversion (referred to collectively as photosynthesis) creates molecular oxygen, O2. This oxygen, which is critical for all other life on the planet, is released into the atmosphere. If you are teaching children, you can summarize this by saying that plants take in the carbon dioxide that we breathe out, and turn it into oxygen. Carbohydrates are molecules that are built primarily of carbon and hydrogen. They are used by plants to store the energy collected from the sun. During photosynthesis, the plant takes carbon dioxide, CO2, and water, H2O, from its environment to create carbohydrates to store energy. Not only are carbohydrates used by the plant to store energy, but that energy is transferred to animals that consume the plant as food. For children, you can explain that plants make sugars and starches out of sunlight, water, and carbon dioxide. While photosynthesis is carried out by some some other organisms, the process is primarily utilized by plants. Even carnivorous plants (e.g., the venus flytrap) obtain their energy from photosynthesis and use their prey as a way to collect the materials to build cells (e.g., proteins, nitrogen, etc.). It is important that the person trying to understand photosynthesis keep the process in perspective as the way that plants, and some organisms such as certain bacteria, produce energy. Young children typically associate photosynthesis only with plants. Only mention other lifeforms if the child is old enough to know what they are.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Discuss how plants create oxygen. Point out that plants create carbohydrates. Mention that photosynthesis occurs mostly in plants.
Article: Find mushrooms in dark caves and shady areas, so look in swamp biomes or in Nether for them. They're mostly found there due to its low light conditions. Brown Mushrooms have also been known to spawn in jungles and open caves. To craft Sugar, open your Crafting Table and then place one Sugar Cane in the middle of the empty boxes. Sugar is a food item derived from Sugar Cane, and Sugar Canes are found in the newly generated world, mostly three blocks tall. Sugar Cane is found growing naturally, but somewhat rarely on dirt, grass, and sand directly adjacent to water. To have a constant supply of sugar for future alchemic or cooking uses, you can plant Sugar Canes on sand as long as it's next to a source of water. Harvest by removing only the top layer and leave the base layer intact to keep it growing. 1 Sugar Cane produces 1 Sugar. Spider Eye is a poisonous food and brewing item. Is it dropped by Spiders, Cave Spiders, and Witches. Spiders can be found in the forest, but the best source for the Spider Eye are from Cave Spiders since they can be found quickly if there's a spawner nearby.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Get Brown Mushroom. Get Sugar. Kill Spiders.
Article: Dirt and debris in the horse's coat will dull your clippers as you use them, so it is best to groom your horse well prior to clipping. When possible, give your horse a bath the night before you plan to clip to remove as much of the dirt as possible. Use chalk or masking tape to section off the areas of your horse's coat that you intend on clipping. Make sure to use straight lines and mark off all areas before starting to remove hair. The buzzing noise put out by clippers is frightening to most horses, especially those who have never been clipped before. Let the horse see the clippers, and then turn them on a few feet away from its face. Allow them to see that the source of the noise is from the clippers. Alongside the sound, the way the vibration of the clippers feels on the horses skin might spook them. Test out their reaction by turning on the clippers, and placing the handle-end on their side. This will allow them to feel the vibrations without removing any hair. If your horse spooks particularly easy, place your hand on their side and the handle of the clippers on the back of your hand. The vibrations will travel through your hand and they'll be able to feel it on their skin indirectly.
Question: What is a summary of what this article is about?
Groom your horse. Mark off the areas you plan on clipping. Make sure your horse is not frightened of the sound of the clippers. Get your horse used to the feel of the vibrations.
