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.
Just before assembling croquembouche, fill a pastry tube fitted with a 1/4-inch-wide tip with pastry cream, insert tip into puffs, and pipe in cream to fill. To make the caramel: In a medium saucepan, combine 2/3 cup water, sugar, and corn syrup, and bring to a boil over high heat. Do not stir. Cover pan, and boil until steam dissolves any crystals.
