CARBON DIOXIDE AND FOOD TROUGH PHOTOSYNTHESIS

583 WD

First of all if we were to be able to make our own food trough photosynthesis, we should have chlorophyll, which is the important pigment in absorbing sunlight. As an effect we will all be green in color. This may be good as there will be only one race but then again our cell must be modified in order for that to happen. Most important our cells must contain chloroplast where photosynthesis occurs. It would be great if we could make our own food through photosynthesis. This is because we do not need to worry about the shortage of food supply. However, it is not that simple. In order to make food through photosynthesis, we will need sunlight. Based on the Malaysia climate, we have only half a day of sunlight every day. The remaining half of the day there is no sunlight. Although photosynthesis still occurs at night but it occurs at a very minimal rate. As it is, energy produced through photosynthesis
