WORLD’S FIRST COOK (CHEF)
CHLOROPLAST and PHOTOSYNTHESIS
We are amazed by
the great industries, which have given us comfortable life to day. But least we
spend time to think about one of the most efficient but highly complicated
industries, which has been functioning from the very beginning of life, long
before humans came in to existence. The great process that sustains life on
earth, with its own energy store house, converters and waste treatment system
is present in sub microscopic units of the cell.
THE BEST POSSIBLE CHEF of
the world
ORGANISED; COST EFFICIENT;
FUEL EFFICIENT;
NON-LABOUR INTENSIVE; SELF CONTAINED;
EXPORT ORIENTED
INDUSTRY
IS
PHOTOSYNTHESIS
This complex process is
so efficiently performed by green plants, taking carbon dioxide from air and
water from the ground to give us a variety of food . This takes place in the
leaf cells of plants with a close coordination of the cell organelles CHLOROPLASTS
and MITOCHONDRIA.
This process is
highly efficient , does not require transportation cost and raw material cost
at least in the free conditions . It is time we use this process to the
advantage of human kind by shifting to Silviculture ( Forestry ) ,
BIOTECHNOLOGY etc. .
It is interesting to
note that one square meter of , LEAF
SURFACE , produces about o.5 to 1.0 gram of starch in one hour !
At this rate a good sized tree with about 1000 sq.m area of LEAF SURFACE , will produce about 0.9 kg of starch in one hour and about 20 kg of starch in a day . Such is the production capacity of plants . This why our ancients worshiped trees and revered them .

All these actions are
all controlled and guided by the nucleus which is able to store the genetic
information from the parent cell .
