Photosynthesis is the process by which green plants with the use of sunlight synthesizes nutrients from water and Carbon dioxide gas. Plants with the presence of the green pigment chlorophyll are entitled to perform photosynthesis and as a bi product releases oxygen.
The gas that is used in the process of photosynthesis is Carbon dioxide.
The chemical compound which is kept inside the glass container is anhydrous Pottassium Hydroxide or KOH.
Desert plants work hard to make use of what's available. They use the sun's energy to convert carbon dioxide $\left( CO _2\right)$ and water $\left( H _2 O \right)$ into sugar, a process called photosynthesis. During this process, stomata on a plant's leaves and stems open to absorb carbon dioxide from the air and in return release oxygen.

If the teeth are not cleaned regularly, they become covered with a sticky yellowish layer W of food particles and bacteria. Since layer W covers the teeth, the alkaline liquid X secreted by glands Y inside the mouth cannot reach the teeth surface to neutralise the acid formed by the action of organisms Z on sugary food, and hence tooth decay sets in.
When a person puts food in his mouth, then teeth cut it into small pieces, chew and grind it. The glands A in the mouth secrete a substance B which is mixed with the food by tongue. The substance B contains an enzyme C which starts the digestion of food in the mouth. The slightly digested food from the mouth goes down a tube D. The special type of movements E in the walls of tube D push the food into stomach for further digestion. The stomach wall secretes gastric juice containing three substance F, G and H. One of the functions of F is to kill bacteria which may enter the stomach with food. The substance G protects the inside layer of stomach from the damaging effect of substance F whereas substance H is and enzyme for digestion. The partially digested food then enters into small intestine for further digestion.
If a person holds his breath after expiration for about 25sec, would there be occurrence of any exchange of respiratory gases in the lungs during this period? Explain.
