This process is known as federation. Australia's federation came about through a process of deliberation, consultation and debate, unlike many other nations that unified as a result of war or conflict. Federation only went ahead with the approval of the people in a referendum (vote of the people).
Energy Cycle in Living Things. A fascinating parallel between plant and animal life is in the use of tiny energy factories within the cells to handle the energy transformation processes necessary for life. In plants, these energy factories are called chloroplasts. They collect energy from the sun and use carbon dioxide and water in the process called photosynthesis to produce sugars. Animals can make use of the sugars provided by the plants in their own cellular energy factories, the mitochondria. These produce a versatile energy currency in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP). This high-energy molecule stores the energy we need to do just about everything we do. The energy cycle for life is fueled by the Sun. The main end product for plants and animals is the production of highly energetic molecules like ATP . These molecules store enough immediately available energy to allow plants and animals to do their necessary work.
Transports water and minerals from roots to the leaves and prepared food to the roots and other plant parts. The stem gives support and structure for the plant. The stem houses the xylem and phloem which transports water and nutrients from the root to other parts of the plant. It also protects from the leaves. The stem on a plant works as the motorway of the plant.
