a: green plant ~
b: a magician

What:

"The photosynthesizers or producers provide the foundation for the entire food web. Without them, no living things could survive. This seems like a simple idea, but it is one whose significance is often lost. Can you think of an analogy that would help clarify the importance and uniqueness of the conversion of inorganic CO2 to organic sugars by green plants during photosynthesis? For example, one analogy might be: "A green plant is like a magician - it creates itself out of thin air." Can you think of others? "

a: Chlorosome in a green bacterium ~
b: little andouille sausages

What: "Each chlorosome in a green bacterium has a unique organization," said Bryant. "They are like little andouille sausages. When you take cross-sections of andouille sausages, you see different patterns of meat and fat; no two sausages are alike in size or content, although there is some structure inside, nevertheless. Chlorosomes in green bacteria are like andouille sausages, and the variability in their compositions had prevented scientists from using X-ray crystallography to characterize the internal structure."
