1 Photosynthesis â The process of capturing light energy and converting it to sugar energy, in the presence of chlorophyll using carbon dioxide and water. 2  Respiration â The process of metabolizing (burning) sugars to yield energy for growth, reproduction, and other life processes.n photosynthesis, the plant uses water and nutrients from the soil, and carbon dioxide from the air with the sunâs energy to create photosynthates. Oxygen is releases as a byproduct. Figure 2.
Croquembouche. A croquembouche or croque-en-bouche is a French dessert consisting of choux pastry balls piled into a cone and bound with threads of caramel. In Italy and France, is often served at weddings, baptisms, and first communions.
I, too, was intimidated. But now I brag Iâm kind of a croquembouche master. Truth be told, it took a few tries to get the mechanics down. For my first attempt, I assembled the puffs flat-side down and created a solid base of about 16 puffs. I thought this would make for greater stability, but it just made for a wonky uneven foundation.
