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.
Stem: Stems hold up a plant and provide structural support. They also transport the essential water and nutrients that the roots collect and deliver them to the leaves and other parts of the plant. Leaf: The leafâs primary job is to absorb sunlight and use it to create food for the plant. It does this through photosynthesis. Flower: Flowers are not just for show, they serve a vital function to the plant. They allow the plant to reproduce, which is why they come in so many different colors, shapes, and smells.
