Textbook Question
Chapter 3, Problem 15IMT
For each statement, identify which major theme is evident (the relationship of structure to function, information flow, pathways that transform energy and matter, interactions within biological systems, or evolution) and explain how the statement relates to the theme. If necessary, review the theme descriptions (see Chapter 1) and review the examples highlighted in blue in this chapter.

- As scientists research and develop biofuels, they are faced with many tradeoffs. A plant's usefulness for biofuels depends on how much energy can be collected from the plant matter. In addition, growing plants on a large scale requires energy—such as the gasoline and power needed to run tractors and other harvesting equipment or the energy needed to create and distribute fertilizers and pesticides. An efficient biofuel would maximize the ratio of energy output to energy input. The following graph illustrates the results of a 10-year study analyzing three different crops used in biofuel production. The data show how much energy was required to grow each crop on 1 hectare of land (energy input) and how much energy was recovered from the total crop on each hectare of land (energy output). A hectare is a measurement of an area of land and is roughly the same as 2.5 acres. What was the estimated energy input of the grass? A. kcal x 10^6 B. 2kcal x 10^6 C. 8kcal x 10^6arrow_forwardAs scientists research and develop biofuels, they are faced with many tradeoffs.

(You might also want to do a little research.) Write (this is an essay style assignment) a WELL THOUGHT OUT response comparing and contrasting the energy conversion (combustion) process that occurs in an automobile with the energy conversion process (cellular respiration) that takes place in your cells. Please make sure that you are using your own words, and not copying and pasting words from other sources. PROVIDE YOUR RESOURCES for any borrowed information. Your writing MUST include the following thought process: How can the two processes (combustion and cellular respiration) end up with the same products, but start out with different reactants?arrow_forward
- Cell respiration and photosynthesis are distinct metabolic processes that take place in the mitochondrion and chloroplast, respectively. While these two processes are separate, they share things in common. When one looks at the overall equations for cell respiration and photosynthesis, one sees how they are near opposites in terms of the starting and ending materials. In 300-400 words, describe this “near opposite” relationship between cell respiration and photosynthesis. What are the starting and ending materials in each process, and what kind of energy transformation is taking place?arrow_forwardStatement A: The flow of matter across the earth’s subsystems involves the transformation of matter into energy. Statement B: The breakdown of glucose molecule into H2O and H2O in the process of cellular respiration corresponds to the formation of a chemical form of energy adenosine triphosphate Both statements A and B are correct Statement A is correct, statement B is incorrect. Statement A is incorrect, statement B is correct Neither statement A nor statement B is correct.arrow_forwardhorticulturist wants to grow large, healthy plants by maximizing the rate of photosynthesis.
