How does photosynthesis follow the law of conservation of mass and the law of conservation of energy?Explain in detail.

Photosynthesis separate carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere
in to oxygen and carbon, using the sunlight. Thus Photo synthesis  absorbs of heat or
light energy that is contained in sunlight. In this way the inputs to the photosynthesis
process are carbon-dioxide and light energy, and the outputs are Oxygen and carbon.
Oxygen is released in the atmosphere while the carbon is used up in making food for the
plants.


The amount of oxygen and carbon atoms released by
photosynthesis are exactly equal to the atoms of these material contained in
carbon-dioxide converted. In this way photosynthesis has conserved the mass or material,
and in this way followed the law of conservation of
mass.


Photo synthesis also follows the law of conservation
of energy. The energy of sunlight used in the process of photosynthesis is absorbed by
the molecules of carbon-dioxide before they can separate in carbon and oxygen molecules.
This absorbed energy is present in the carbon and oxygen molecules and can be releases
again as energy of combustion produced when carbon and oxygen combine to produce carbon
dioxide.

In Act III, scene 2, why may the establishment of Claudius's guilt be considered the crisis of the revenge plot?

The crisis of a drama usually proceeds and leads to the climax.  In Shakespeare's Hamlet , the proof that Claudius is guilty...
