The process of photosynthesis allows plants to create their own food. First, sunlight is absorbed by chlorophyll, a green pigment in the plant's leaves. Then, the plant takes in carbon dioxide from the air through tiny openings called stomata and water from the soil through its roots. Next, the energy from sunlight is used to break apart the water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. After that, the hydrogen combines with carbon dioxide to form glucose, a type of sugar that plants use as food. Finally, oxygen is released into the air as a byproduct of this process, which benefits all living things.

Coyotes Invade Downtown The discovery of a wild coyote in late 1997 in the Henry M. Jackson Federal Building in downtown Seattle should come as a wake-up call. The United States has a serious coyote problem! From their traditional enclaves in the western desert, these opportunistic canines have now invaded the entire continental United States. They have taken over parks, farms, vacant lots, and now perhaps the downtown areas of major cities. Homeowners report losing cats and dogs to the beasts, and young children are under attack. Enough is enough. Since humans are the only natural enemy of coyotes, we demand that state and federal agencies institute coyote trapping programs. That is the only way to decrease the number of coyotes to a manageable level.

What is the text structure?
Wolves and coyotes are both members of the canine family, but they have some key differences. Wolves are generally larger, with a thicker build and a bushier tail, while coyotes are smaller and have a thinner, sleeker appearance. Wolves typically live in packs and rely on teamwork to hunt large animals like deer, whereas coyotes are often solitary or form small family groups and hunt smaller prey like rabbits. Despite these differences, both wolves and coyotes are highly intelligent animals that use their sharp senses to survive in the wild.
