V Translate the science text into Tamil marks)
Oxygen is continuously removed from the air to meet the demands of breathing and burning. The question arises as to how the percentage of oxygen in the air is maintained. The answer to this question is by the process of photosynthesis. During
photosynthesis in green plants, carbon dioxide reacts with water to form starch and oxygen. Chlorophyll acts as a catalyst and the sunlight provides the atmosphere and maintains the equilibrium between the carbon dioxide and oxygen cycle.

Two Transgenders get permanent jobs at Government Hospitals
They worked for four years as contract employees at Rajiv Gandhi GH
After four years of working on a contract, two transgender persons employed at the Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital (RGGGH) were posted as lab technician and physiotherapist on Wednesday.
The appointment orders were handed over to Neaya S. and M.P. SelviSanthosham by Chief Minister Edappadi K. Palaniswami in the presence of Health Minister C. VijayaBaskar and senior officials.
Long struggle
For both, it's been a long, hard struggle to get to where they are. Neaya, who is 33 and from Salem district, said she lost both her parents when she was quite young. Her older brother and sister are both married and settled. "I completed my studies with difficulty. I have an M. Sc in Microbiology," she said. Despite her job, she said, finding rental accommodation in the city was very difficult. Selvi, a native of Tirunelveli district, said she completed her degree in physiotherapy and that she had worked at a few places but had faced discrimination. "I then became an independent physiotherapist," she said.
The job at RGGGH later came through and now, she has been posted as a physiotherapist at the Government Tiruvannamalai Medical College Hospital. She said more members of the community needed to be given jobs. A release said that Neaya and Selvi had crossed the age bar for job reservations but were treated as special cases.
