    Thinking Skills: ----

    1. Carrots are orange not red and they are this color because they do not
    absorb the color red from the light. Spinach is green due to chlorophyll
    pigment present in the chloroplast of the leaf tissue.

    2. Honey is created from flower nectar. This nectar is then carried back to the


    hive and given to the housekeeping bees. These bees inside the hive
    deposit the nectar into the honeycomb. The combination of stomach
    enzymes and fanning over it to evaporate the excess water that is in
    the nectar.
    3. Organisms which make food for themselves and for others should have
    chlorophyll because Chlorophyll gives plants their green color because it
    does not absorb the green wavelengths of white light and so it appears
    green. 

    4. A fruit which is seedless is Banana, Grape,


    A fruit which bears a single seed is Mango, Litchi, and Plum
    A fruit which bears many seeds is Apple, Guava, pomegranate, Guava,
