the sugar produced in the photosynthetic cells of plants and other organisms is derived from the initial chemical combining of carbon dioxide and water with sunlight. This chemical reaction is catalyzed by chlorophyll acting in concert with other pigment‚ lipid‚ sugars‚ protein‚ and nucleic acid molecules. Sugars created in photosynthesis can be later converted by the plant to starch for storage‚ or it can be combined with other sugar molecules to form specialized carbohydrates such as cellulose‚

CHAPTER I Introduction Over 70% of the planet is covered by water. (75% of that is salt water‚ only leaving a 25% as fresh water which can be used for consumption. 70% of the fresh water of our planet is still frozen in the icecaps of Antarctica and Greenland; while the remaining percentage is present as soil moisture‚ or it lies underground as groundwater. Main Problem How can the seawater be utilized for the consumption of different organisms? Sub problems How will the results of the said
