Answers
Answer:
1.Carrots are orange not red and they are these color because they do not absorb the colour red from the light. Spinach is green because of chlorophyll pigment present in the chloroplast of the lead tissue.
2.Food chains cannot start with human beings because we do not make our energy. Food chains start with producers, those organisms who make their own energy
3.Sprouts are very nutritious, as they contain all the elements that a plant needs for life and growth. The simple process of sprouting brings out many enzymes in germinated seeds, legumes, and grains, making them easier to digest.
4.Typically, both male and female mosquitoes feed on nectar, aphid honeydew, and plant juices, but in many species the mouthparts of the females are adapted for piercing the skin of animal hosts and sucking their blood as ectoparasites.
