12. Here is a statement about pl<strong>an</strong>ts written by <strong>an</strong> earlier scientist, Leonardo da Vinci, about 1490.<br />

“The leaf serves as a mother to every br<strong>an</strong>ch <strong>an</strong>d fruit by bringing them the water<br />

of the rains <strong>an</strong>d the moisture of the dew that falls there at night from above, <strong>an</strong>d it<br />

often takes from them the excessive heat from the sun’s rays.”<br />

14. The temperature increase around B<strong>an</strong>gkok <strong>an</strong>d suburb<strong>an</strong> areas is becoming <strong>an</strong><br />

environmental issue. Air conditioners are used to decrease the temperature inside <strong>an</strong>y<br />

building (e.g. office, house <strong>an</strong>d school) but people are sometimes unaware of the<br />

consequences. For example, CFC’s circulating in some air conditioners c<strong>an</strong> be<br />

accidentally released creations a hole in the ozone layer. Subsequently, UV rays c<strong>an</strong> get<br />

through the hole <strong>an</strong>d cause skin c<strong>an</strong>cer. According to photosynthesis concepts, what<br />

would you do to lower the increasing air temperature? Please explain your ideas.<br />
