PHOTORESPIRATION, PHOTOSYNTHESIS AT A GLANCE
NOTES & RESEARCH
No idea about who made these following statements; but, I'am still gathering data about light, its nature and how it become itself immersed in the big picture revolving about the so-called oxygen revolution and its subsequent outcome. This author affirms :
Some plants carbon dioxide is fixed to phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) rather than Ribulose 1,5 BiP. These plants are known as C4 plants and the pathway is known as the Hatch-Slack Pathway.
Some of the plants that use this pathway are corn, sugar cane, sugar beets, and crabgrass. These plants make better use of carbon dioxide, have photorespiration near zero, reduced water loss, and are adapted to high light and temperature and dryness. In short, they save more of the photosynthate (sugar) they make.

ENTREPRENEURS & ENTERPRISES
GLOBAL LIFE
EVEN A DROP OF WATER GOES TO THE SEA
Close to the Miami Museum, Down Town,at lunch time, when office peoples are eager to step out and relax, a 45-year old man, who look likes a homeless -as they are not uncommon in the surroundings- used to sit quietly, with a sunny face and a few dreads. Busying himself by watching passersby, Toni is a kind of guys who are pleased to make a living by doing what they are fond of. A native of Waikiki, a Hawaii Island, Toni doesn’t really want to sell, but writes in Spanish: Lo que Ud desear dar, as a small table displays his creations.
Sounding humble and grateful, these words attract and make peoples pay attention to Toni and his business. Making artifacts with laurels and palms , Toni continues to answer questions even when he is given a few dollars for his sales. One last Friday, Toni delights at talking about his dreams.
“I hope, one day, to have a boat and go to the high seas to sale my products’. Those consist of birds, cross, insects, boats, and other gadgets…-Tony is not a sailor, but an artist, according to what he is doing- However, Toni who lives nearby sticks to his project, which is no longer a dream. He wants to anchor everywhere with his boats and brings a message of peace and love with his creations. Apparently, they seem a waste of time, but artists always have another dimension of time.
Small dreams always feed big projects.
At parting, Toni continues shyly to radiate peace and passion for his far away sailing goal.
