The correct answer is Chloroplast.

Key Points

• Photosynthesis:
  • Photosynthesis definition states that the process exclusively takes place in the chloroplasts through photosynthetic pigments such as chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, carotene, and xanthophyll.
  • All green plants and a few other autotrophic organisms utilize photosynthesis is to synthesize nutrients by using carbon dioxide, water, and sunlight.
  • The by-product of the photosynthesis process is oxygen.
  • Photosynthesis occurs when plants use light energy to convert carbon dioxide and water into glucose and oxygen.
  • Leaves contain microscopic cellular organelles known as chloroplasts.
  • Each chloroplast contains a green-colored pigment called chlorophyll.
  • Light energy is absorbed by chlorophyll molecules whereas carbon dioxide and oxygen enter through the tiny pores of stomata located in the epidermis of leaves.
  • Another by-product of photosynthesis is sugars such as glucose and fructose.
  • These sugars are used by the plants as an energy source, which helps them to grow.
  • Photosynthesis also applies to other organisms besides green plants.
  • These include several prokaryotes such as cyanobacteria, purple bacteria, and green sulfur bacteria.
  • These organisms exhibit photosynthesis just like green plants.
  • The glucose produced during photosynthesis is then used to fuel various cellular activities.
  • The by-product of this physio-chemical process is oxygen.

Given: Victory ∶ Encouragement ∶∶ Failure ∶ ?

The correct answer is Femur.

Key Points

• It is the largest, longest, and strongest bone in the human body.
• The femur runs from the keen to the hip.
• The Femur or thigh bone is the largest and heaviest bone in the human body.
• At the proximal end of the Femur, there is a rounded prominence which is called the Head of the Femur.
• The femur runs from the keen to the hip.
• It carries all the upper body weight.
• The other parts of the leg are the tibia, femur, fibula, and keep cap also known as patella.

Additional Information

• The human skeleton is made up of 206 bones, including bones of the
  • Skull:  including the jaw bone (mandible, maxilla)
  • Spine: cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae, sacrum and tailbone (coccyx)
  • Chest: ribs and breastbone (sternum)
  • Arms: the shoulder blade (scapula), collar bone (clavicle), radius, humerus and ulna
  • Hands: wrist bones (carpals), metacarpals and phalanges
  • Pelvis: hip bones
  • Legs: the thigh bone (femur), the kneecap (patella), shin bone (tibia) and fibula
  • Feet: tarsals, metatarsals, and phalanges.
