20
00:01:30.760 --> 00:01:33.400

00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:51.120
crop by weight, it's primarily used for sugar production. The

26
00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:54.760
most produced food crop for direct consumption is corn maize.

27

dioxide and water. Answer photosynthesis fun fact. While most plants

34
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.120
