Quick comprehension check

Imagine you are reading an article with the heading "Desert Animals." Under that heading, you see the subheading "How Camels Survive." Where would you look to find information about how camels survive in the desert? You are reading a science article and see the word "photosynthesis" in bold text. Where might you find the definition of this word within the article or nearby?
